Really just a one year deal

Even though it's essentially a 1 year deal, good for the Cubs. They are a good fit.

Finally. I really am surprised that this is the compromise that they came to. Both sides are basically kicking the can down the road til next year.


This to me guarantees that this will be the last year Bellinger is a Cub. Id have liked to see a 4 year/120 a year deal with opt outs after years 2 and 3. That way he'd be a Cub for at least 2 more years.

If he has another year like last year, and his batted ball metrics improve some, some team will give him something better than 2 years at 50 mil.

At least by then we should know what we have with PCA and Busch both.

They should make a run at one of the last remaining pitchers with a similar type of offer, few years, can leave after 1 or 2.

Cubs are making a lot of money off their ball park village type deal around Wrigley and can play the board game and end up with a deal like this.
