The outfielder returned to the Cubs as a free agent this offseason but may be on the move again.
, but most signs point to a sell-off as Chicago appears unlikely to pull up from the tailspin it's been in the last few months.
Cody Bellinger is one piece that could be sold if the Cubs try to acquire some assets and reposition for next year. He is on a three-year deal, but his contract allows him to opt out at the end of each season, so the Cubs can consider him a liability to leave each offseason. His bat has returned to earth from the .881 OPS he put up last year, but he's still above average offensively this season, and strong in center field or at first base defensively.
It sounds like Seattle wants both a center fielder and first baseman. Bellinger could fill both roles.While the Rangers have not explicitly had reported interest in Bellinger, Texas was said to have a "noticeable scouting presence,". Unclear if they were scouting Bellinger in particular or not, but it's reasonable to surmise he may be one of the players they're thinking about.
