Part 2/8:
Cody Bellinger, once seen as an asset, has become a liability for the Cubs due to his contract, which is valued at approximately $27.5 million. Nightingale points out that this figure is notably higher than that of superstar Bryce Harper, who commands less but offers far more consistent performance. With Bellinger opting back into his contract after considering his options, the Cubs now face the challenge of shopping him around, but with little success so far.
