Cody Bellinger Becomes Free Agent, Declines Cubs' Option

Cody Bellinger has declined his mutual option with the Chicago Cubs, making him a free agent. He had a strong season, hitting 26 home runs with a .307/.356/.525 slash line. The Cubs will make him a qualifying offer, but other teams like the Giants, Yankees, and Mariners could also be interested. The Cubs have a potential successor in Pete Crow-Armstrong, but they may still try to retain Bellinger. The Cubs also declined their mutual option on reliever Brad Boxberger, who may receive minor league offers this offseason.

"Chicago Baseball: Bullpen Composition, Boxberger Pitching, Tauchman Leading, Darvish History, and More Cubs Bullets"

The Chicago Cubs are preparing to face the White Sox in a series that holds significance for their crosstown rivals. The Cubs are hoping to bring Brad Boxberger back to the big league bullpen after his rehab assignment, as they value having a variety of pitching looks to improve performance and match-up benefits. The Cubs have found success when Mike Tauchman leads off, but they also need to balance playing time for other players. Yu Darvish recently reached a milestone as the Japanese-born pitcher with the most career strikeouts, but the Cubs' decision to trade him seems appropriate in hindsight due to his declining performance. The return from the trade is still up for debate, but Owen Caissie has shown promise at Double-A.
