Cubs Weigh Options Between Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman
With Bellinger's asking price at $200 million, the Cubs consider Chapman as a more affordable alternative.
- Cody Bellinger, one of the top four remaining free agents, is yet to find a team for the upcoming season, with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago Cubs emerging as top suitors.
- Bellinger's price is believed to be $200 million, a sum that the Cubs might find a little over the bar.
- The Cubs are also considering Matt Chapman as a top prospect if they fail to land Bellinger, as Chapman could be a more affordable option.
- The San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Angels have shown interest in Bellinger but are not ready to meet his asking price.
- Bellinger's agent, Scott Boras, is known for sticking to high contract demands and is not afraid to carry a player into late winter as a free agent.
