Bellinger stays

Bellinger stays with Cubs, Snell goes to LA? Still no news from Ryu Hyun-jin

Blake Snell, the 2023 National League Cy Young Award winner, is from the LA Angels, and Cody Bellinger, the MVP-turned slugger who made a dramatic comeback, is from the Chicago Cubs. MLB.com predicted the destinations of major free agent players remaining in the market. Ryu Hyun-jin's name was not mentioned.

MLB.com surveyed 43 Major League Baseball (MLB) officials on the 12th (Korean time) and predicted the destinations of the six remaining free agents.

Cody Bellinger is expected to re-sign with the Cubs. 39 out of 43 voted to stay in the Cubs. Bellinger, who played as a central hitter for the LA Dodgers and was named National League MVP, performed extremely poorly due to injury afterward, but succeeded in making a comeback with the Cubs last season. He had a batting average of 0.307, hit 26 home runs, and had an OPS of 0.881.

There is speculation that left-hander Snell, who won the National League Cy Young Award as a starter in San Diego last season, is likely to head to the LA Angels. However, with Shohei Ohtani missing from the starting lineup, the need for Snell has become greater. However, he cannot rule out the possibility of San Francisco and the New York Yankees.

Third baseman Matt Chapman appears likely to share a meal with Lee Jeong-hoo in San Francisco. MLB.com said, “San Francisco prepared for the new season by reinforcing center fielder Lee Jeong-hoo and left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray. “This offseason is very important as we have lost many free agent players.” MLB.com also said, “San Francisco needs a third baseman. “Bob Melvin, who was the coach when Chapman was in his prime in Oakland, was appointed as the new head coach in San Francisco,” he explained.

Jorge Solaire, who hit 36 ​​home runs in Miami last season and was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, was also expected to go to San Francisco. Although Lee Jeong-hoo and others were recruited, San Francisco still needs to strengthen its batting lineup. In addition, World Series winning pitcher Jordan Montgomery is expected to remain in Texas, and right-handed slugger JD Martinez is expected to go to the New York Mets.
