Philadelphia Phillies
Although it might not be the most likely of the bunch, the Philadelphia Phillies are still a team that can dish out more cash this offseason. They already gave Aaron Nola a huge payday to stay with the club, and it wouldn't shock us if they continued spending. The Phillies have been tied to Bellinger as a potential sleeper team in the race for his services. As the days continue to pass and executives wonder about his price, could the Phillies surprise us and add Bellinger to their lineup?
Philadelphia Phillies World Series Odds
The Phillies are listed at +1400 to win the 2024 World Series.
Where Will Bellinger Sign?
With MLB's spring training less than a month away, Cody Bellinger still doesn't have a new home yet. SportsGrid looks at four potential spots for him to sign. Bellinger is coming off a 2023 campaign where he tallied 26 home runs, 97 RBI, a .356 OBP, and a .881 OPS.
Chicago Cubs
Is a reunion between the Chicago Cubs and Cody Bellinger out of the question? It would surprise us if that were the case with where things currently stand. Bellinger had a dominant campaign in Chicago during the 2023 season, and there's merit to him running it back and signing long-term with the club. Will the Cubs ultimately pony up the type of contract that Bellinger is chasing?

San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants are still searching for more offense to add to the mix for their team. Although there's a crowd in the outfield in SF, there's definitely a world where you can still add a talent like Bellinger to the mix and make the rest work later. These decisions typically have a way of working themselves out in the long run, and depth is never a bad thing. Adding Bellinger would make the Giants a much more interesting team in 2024.

Los Angeles Angels
With Shohei Ohtani departing to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels are looking for offensive production to replace him. Cody Bellinger is a natural fit to do that, especially since he already knows the landscape in LA after his extended run with the Dodgers. The Angels have reportedly spoken with Bellinger's agent about a match, and it's one that makes a lot of sense on paper.

The Angels are listed at +18000 to win the 2024 World Series.
