With Shohei Ohtani’s monumental $700 million, 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers now settled, the MLB free-agency market is poised for further developments. Amidst this anticipation, baseball enthusiasts are speculating about the implications of a recent Instagram story from Cody Bellinger’s fiancée, model Chase Carter, featuring the Toronto skyline.
The Toronto Blue Jays were one of the contenders in the pursuit of Ohtani, and this post has sparked curiosity about whether they might have their eyes on a player like Bellinger, known for his powerful hitting.
Cody Bellinger, the 2019 National League MVP, experienced a resurgence with the Chicago Cubs this past season. He boasted an impressive .307 batting average, along with 26 home runs, 97 RBIs, and an .881 OPS. At 28 years old, Bellinger remains in the prime of his physical abilities, making him an attractive prospect for teams in need of a slugger.
Former Cubs manager David Ross, who coached Bellinger before being succeeded by Craig Counsell, recently spoke highly of the outfielder’s intangible qualities in an interview with Michael Kay on ESPN New York. Ross praised Bellinger’s remarkable bat-to-ball skills, emphasizing his ability to consistently make contact with the ball. Ross also commended Bellinger’s dedication to the game, highlighting his enthusiasm for playing and competing.
Cody Bellinger and Chase Carter, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, welcomed their daughter Caiden in 2021 and got engaged in June of the same year. As Bellinger’s future in the MLB remains uncertain, fans eagerly await any developments that may follow his fiancée’s intriguing Instagram post.
