How can it be this unpopular? I haven’t received a single offer.

  It's already the end of January, but the future of Major League Baseball's 'express free agent' Cody Bellinger (28) is still unclear. Although he is a key customer of super agent Scott Boras, it has been revealed that he has not received a single formal offer yet. 

USA Today Sports' reported on the 29th (Korean time), 'There are less than three weeks left in spring training, but Bellinger and JD Martinez have not yet been offered official contracts.' Martinez is also a Boras player, but it is taking time to find a new team. 

In the case of Martinez, he is older at 36 years old and has low defensive utilization as a designated hitter, so it is not surprising that market interest is low. However, it is quite surprising that Bellinger, who is considered the biggest hitter in free agency, has not even received a specific offer yet. 

According to MLB.com on the 21st, several teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, and Seattle Mariners, reportedly contacted Bellinger, but no offers were made. San Francisco virtually gave up on Bellinger when it signed Korean outfielder Lee Jeong-hoo for a six-year, $113 million contract. The possibility of renewing his contract with his original team, the Chicago Cubs, is increasingly being weighed, but MLB.com presupposes that 'Bellinger's requirements must be lowered.' 

The LA Angels, where Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) left, is also considered one of the candidates for recruiting Bellinger. David Basse, who covers the Dodgers for 'AM570 LA Sports', said on the podcast 'Dodger Talk' on the 26th, "Many people seem to have concluded that Bellinger will sign with the Cubs, but the Angels are also interested. He said, “There are also discussions with Boras about recruiting Bellinger.” However, all teams are feeling burdened by Bellinger's ransom, which is demanding more than $200 million, so it is shaping up to be a long-term game. 

Bellinger, who started his career by hitting 39 home runs as soon as he debuted with the Dodgers in 2017 and winning the National League (NL) Rookie of the Year award, played in 156 games in 2019 with a batting average of .305 (170 hits in 558 at-bats), 47 home runs, 115 RBI, and an OPS of 1.035 at the age of 23. received MVP. In the same year, he showed his value in offense and defense by winning the Gold Glove Award in the outfield category.

He took the team by storm in the third year of his debut, but his performance has declined since 2020. His right shoulder was dislocated during an intense home run celebration in Game 7 of the 2020 NL Championship Series, and the decline began when he underwent surgery after the end of the World Series. In 2021, in the aftermath of injuries to the shin, hamstring, and ribs, he posted a career-low batting average of .100 (.165). In 2022, he played 144 games without any major injuries, but his slump continued with a batting average of .201 (106 hits in 504 at-bats), 19 home runs, 68 RBIs, and an OPS of .654.
