You act like he's bad. He's not, and I thought his career was over. He's just overpaid. Every team has overpaid for someone and most teams have an overpaid player so it's a bit of a who cares. It's not like the Cubs are known for making good moves anyway.
The Cubs made zero bad moves regarding Cody Bellinger besides not trading him when he was scorching hot in 2024. The contract they offered him was fine.
This is the comment I was looking for, people act like yanks hope he’s saving us after losing Soto. Dude is a positive addition no matter how you look at it and Yankees only gave away Cody poteet. You would think the kid was skenes based on reactions to this move
I liked him at first when i first found his channel a couple of years ago with his highlights and the occasional high edited commentary video. Now all he does is nitpick about any player. He does the same video format with a different player over and over again. He rinses and repeats a video format. He'll go from "This Is Worst MLB pitcher of 2024" to "This Is The Worst Player of 2024" to "This Is The Slowest MLB Runner In The MLB Today". He also has a clear bias against the Yankees as well, which I don't mind, but he makes a video of them way too often and clearly holds a crutch for a Yankees topic video because it's an easy video to make for people who don't like the Yankees that brings in more views onto his channel. Taking advantage of recency bias and sounding like a broken record while doing it. His channel is creatively bankrupt. He's just milking the last of what he has left with the channel with the declining viewership, and he'll disappear and never to be heard from ever again
@@Heybrotruthhurtsso is a dozen and a half players man. Xander, Turner, swanson, machado, Arenado, Stanton, Rendon and countless pitchers. He is 29 years old in a two deal, who gives a crap.
He’ll still improve the Yankees. Maybe they’ll stick him at first base and play Dominguez in center. Either way, he’s a clear improvement over Verdugo or Rizzo.
I just checked baseball reference. His 2019 stats were ridiculous, then he went downhill, but had a decent 2023 and an OK 2024. I also saw he doesn't walk too much, but his strike outs were basically cut in half in 23/24 compared to his first few seasons! Very interesting player, might be an issue of mentality versus skill/potential. As a Yankee fan, I hope he can be a good mix of an average and power hitter, like in 2023!
He's a good player and I think he'll hit 25-30 homers if healthy and around. 250 or so as a hitter. He has hit 47 and 39 homers-only a handful of guys playing can say that. He's also, a better base runner, and stealer, than Soto, and a better fielder.
i cant believe yankees fans are gassing him up so much his advanced stats are horrible, and people just seem to ignore it because he's a name brand talent
Maybe he wasn't trying as hard as he could because he always wanted to be on the Yankees and win multiple world series with them just like his father did.
Its a gamble but what choice do the Yankees have? They had to roll the dice on Belli, and pray hitting in front of Judge gets him some extra fastballs. He'll have a better year than 2024, I'm quite sure. I'll predict 4.2 fWAR
Yankees needed a good outfielder (so Judge could go back to RF), a plus left-handed bat (still had a 111 OPS+ in 2024, better than Verdugo), and someone that isn't absolute garbage on the bases (aka everyone that isn't named Volpe or Jazz). So I don't see a downside. Yeah if the Yankees could drop the contract by about $15-20 million AAV they would, but the Cubs gave him that contract. If it works out and Belli even hits his 2023 level, not even his 2019 MVP peak, that's still a 4-5 WAR player. If Belli is consistent, that is still a .265/.325/425 player with 20 HRs, which is basically what they lost in Gleyber, who was 3rd in OBP and 4th in HR. If he struggles, he opts out at the end of the year, or the Yankees eat it for 1 more season. But they're the Yankees, whats $20 million? Bellinger is an average player at worst, and a great player at best, he's just overpaid. Blame the Cubs for that. All in all, there is no downside to this deal, unless you're the Yankees' accountant.
Last year he was meh, 2023 he was good, that's a nice ops. The Yankees have him either for 1 year or 2, most likely they let him leave after this year so they can sign tucker. This makes him very valuable compared to the outfield free agents who have nices bats but can't field and are all really just DH's. I would say belly has a good chance at out performing both Santander and Hernandez. Since he has a good chance of hitting to the same level and will have positive value with the glove instead of negative.
For sure he will never live up to Soto's production ability, but just to keep things in perspective, I would rather have 1) Cody's fielding ability and 2) Cody's running ability. Soto was embarrassing on both counts.
Bellinger has talent, there's no doubt about that, and he's still young. Perhaps his poor seasons are due to a mental problem or lack of motivation. It's not the same to play on a competitive team than on one that has no chance like the Cubs last year.
Cody Bellinger should be swinging for the damn fences. The Yankee manager should challenge him to give him 40 homers because he’s capable of doing it. This guy can rake, get him out of his head worrying about strikeouts and he’ll takeoff like when he was a kid on the Dodgers.
I am Dodgers fan and watched Cody play for years. This video is on point. Bellinger isn’t that good. I predict he hits 220 with 20 home runs. He’s way overvalued. There’s no reason why Bellinger gets multi year deals and Joc Pederson doesn’t.
Following his trade to NYY I had quite many Yankees fans argue with me not only the trade is great, but that he's better than Soto(!), as "he can field and run" and "as a lefty he will hit 45 bombs with short right porch at Yankees stadium". They are crazy.
He can also slot in at 1st, which gives the Yankees some flexibility if the Martian landing finally takes off. He's a lefty, which the Yankees need just in general for balance, but also because they play at Yankee Stadium. He's still relatively young so there is at least some hope he can return to form with the right approach. 2023 Bellinger, being a lefty and giving them some position flexibility, and while the contract is a lot it's 2 years, not 15. If he's good enough he opts out and only gives them 1 year, they can be happy about that. He's still got a little speed. If he opts in, but he's a 2 WAR player he's still not the worst contract the Yankees have. He's cheaper and probably better than Stanton, and only a little more pricey than LeMahieu and likely to be way better than DJ. If the Yankees stay under the next tier of the luxury tax I give it an expected grade of C, because it is taking up a fair amount of cap space. I'd like it much better if it was a team option for year two. If they decide to go for broke, then I like it a lot better, because then he's only costing you money, not options. The odds of LeMahieu even returning to positive WAR, let alone getting to 2.1 aren't great, and Stanton probably will never get back to 2.1. That's $47 million tied up in what worked out to be combined -0.9 WAR. By the time that comes off the books Judge will be 35.
He spent three years from 2020 to 2022 trying to be the old Bellinger, it doesn’t work. He doesn’t have the same bat speed and reach that he had prior to the shoulder surgery
1 WAR in free agency has a market value anywhere from 8-10 million dollars depending on the year. The Cubs paid Bellinger 52.5 million for 6.6 WAR over two seasons. It's not anywhere approaching a bad contract, it's an extremely average contract.
That's not a good way to calculate if someone is overpaid or not. No one in their right mind would say a 2 WAR player (average player) is worth 20M. A star can usually consistently put up 4 WAR and they're usually paid around 20M, so that's 1WAR=5M. And it is a bad contract thats why cubs got rid of him and just decided to pay the 5M to the yankees.
@ lol tell a casual what market value is objectively "but that's not a good way to do it". Ok buddy, but we live in reality and that's how free agent contracts are priced. The only reason WAR is worth less outside of free agency is because of how team control works. The cubs dumped him to get under the luxury tax, they were over by 400k last year which is a paltry amount but if they're over again next season they'll suffer stiffer penalties. This is why they got rid of him..salary dumps don't automatically equate to a contract being bad. Not everything is surface level, sometimes there are even complexities you are totally oblivious of!
He shortens up with 2 strikes and just tries to punch it through for a base hit. This naturally is going to kill his average exit velo, if he was still swinging as hard as he could at every pitch, I'm willing to bet his average exit velo would go back up to what it was previous to his Cubs tenure. That being said, not sure if that was a personal philosophy change or a team suggested change. Maybe the Yankees will tell him to ditch the "just make contact" with 2 strikes approach. TLDR: I think he's still good, just a bit overpaid and maybe misunderstood.
hes been willing to change his swing from year to year, maybe judge gives him his personal hitting coaches number idk. I hope he bounces back to his early career highs
Whats with the Yankees and Dominguez its like theyre saving him from scouting reports or something they keep finding mediocre players to play his position.
Honestly I think he’s going to do fine in the Bronx he’s a plus defender and his bat profiles good for yankee stadium idk why everyone is dunking on the dude when he’s not even a bad player he’s just not the 2019 MVP caliber dude anymore it’s not like he’s washed
if Cody Bellinger is literally the exact same player in 2025 as he was in 2024, that's still a big upgrade on any of the travesty the Yankees have trotted out in recent years at 1B/whatever outfield Judge isn't playing. that's all we want.
His statcast looks fine, he's overpaid but at least he's a multitool player. No interest in guys like Alonso or Santader, they're the real scam 1tool players in this free agent market
A lot of your commenters fail to realize that this is a prediction. Perhaps it is a spicy prediction, but only time will tell. You could have the last laugh. but you might not. Only time will tell.
Look-- everyone knows that all major league athletes in any major sport are now being overpaid grotesquely. No one can play baseball well enough to deserve some part of a billion dollars. It will continue undeterred until we fans have had enough of five hundred dollar trips to the ballpark, and we boycott baseball. Within minutes of MLB beginning to lose money, there would be a giant reset in salaries.
They're paid fairly due to unionizing, do you have any idea how much the guys signing the checks are worth? Look at the history of free agency. Babe Ruth died broke, is that what you want for guys like Ohtani and Judge? Look up how much owners make off TV deals. Also for every Judge or Ohtani, are hundreds of guys who DONT make it and have to coach Hs/college ball for $40k/year starting at age 30
He benefited from the juices ball. The first version of it was introduced in 2016, 2019 was the super juiced ball. He came up in 2017. There may have been some other stuff but no doubt the juiced ball helped him early
Kinda feel like the Yankees set him up for failure by trading for him. Another big name player they bring in to bandaid a problem he can’t solve, and when he inevitably doesn’t fit that role gets spit out by the media. Replacing OBP god with an increasingly strikeout prone declining overpaid player. At least he has the short porch
They're not bringing him in to be a star or replace Soto. There bringing him in to be an above average bat that that plays great defense. It's only dumbass that think the Yankees traded for him to be a superstar that's replacing Soto. They wouldn't have been so anal about the money part if they thought that.
nobody can replace Soto but looking out on the current market - there ain't much. Couldn't get Tucker (dream trade). He's a lefty who can play 1B + OF and numbers wise can at least play slightly above league avg if not higher. He's better than Verdugo, Gallo, Grisham, Hicks, and pretty much anybody we've had play CF/LF. Yanks are setting up Pereira and both Oswalds for failure, not him. Wrigley is a tough ballpark to hit in so yes, the short porch and other conditions would give him a good boost provided he stays healthy with his shoulder. Overpaid? Yes, that's why Yanks wanted Cubs to pay some.
Hello Made The Cut, I have a good video suggestion. You should do a play of NFL sometime and talk about it. I think that will be very cool for you to do that. I just wanna see it once that’s it 🙏🏼🥺.
Yanks got him because their player development is non existent and as a result they are desperate for bats and there are only so many out there. This passes as offensive upside. Awful. Long swing.
@@madethecutYou're right it's front loaded so Cubs paid the highest amount in the 1st year then it goes down slightly - I don't think he'll have the same postseason impact though

The Cubs made zero bad moves regarding Cody Bellinger besides not trading him when he was scorching hot in 2024. The contract they offered him was fine.

Found the Yankee fan 😂
For fucks sake, he's a plus defensive outfielder and first baseman and an above average bat from the left side. Nobody is claiming he's MVP Bellinger.
yall getting way too defensive and sensitive, all he's saying is bellinger is extremely overpaid and is not as good as they think he still is

Either way, he’s a clear improvement over Verdugo or Rizzo.
I think if they work with him to retool his approach a bit he could really good for them!
They already made it clear that he’d be in CF and will look for an everyday 1B. Best case scenario would be having the Martian learn from him
he's a clear improvement over Verdugo or Rizzo with only a 2 year commitment at most
Damn Yankees don't wanna start Dominguez at all sheeesh@@Kimchiroyalty
He isn't THAT bad. You make him sound like Anthony Rendon
Let's give it another year or two. Rendon was still pretty good at Cody's current age, then he went downhill FAST after turning past 30.
@@davidtran2026He went downhill fast almost as soon as the ink dried on his monster contract.
One month ago "Cody Bellinger is terrible". This week after being traded to the yankees " OMG Cody Bellinger is amazing."
People saying he was terrible were clueless. Idiots saying stuff don't make it fact.
and the same way around for redsox, mets, astros and dodgers fans

Lol was thinking same thing
I watched prime Belli live in 2019. elite defensive skills, fast, can steal if needed, pop, and shows up in October.
He’s not bad
The cubs should’ve got more in the trad
He's not a superstar but he's definitely not a bad player. Above average bat and defense along with above average speed

Hello Made The Cut, I have a good video suggestion. You should do a play of NFL sometime and talk about it. I think that will be very cool for you to do that. I just wanna see it once that’s it 🙏🏼🥺.
NFL sucks bro, take your CTE and GTFO
Dude batted .143 in the 2017 WS and blamed the trash cans 😆
Dang, that might be the most trollish thing I've seen all day.
Two things can be true. He may have struggled and the Astros are this centuries black sox
Trashstros will always have only one legit ring 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ tell that to the MLB, little girl 😆
Yankees are desperate.......
Yanks got him because their player development is non existent and as a result they are desperate for bats and there are only so many out there. This passes as offensive upside. Awful. Long swing.
OR Yankees got him because he’s a versatile defender and it keep their options open for next free agency.
Go Dodgers 🧢⚾💪🏼
Bellinger making more per year than Freddie 🗽
Spotrac has Belli at 26.6 and Freeman at 27. Like both guys though, and I hope they do well with their respective teams :)
@@madethecutYou're right it's front loaded so Cubs paid the highest amount in the 1st year then it goes down slightly - I don't think he'll have the same postseason impact though
I’ll say this, he always terrifies me when he’s at bat against the reds.
He's pretty good just not a super star. I think he's going to do well with the Yankees. Like a Curtis Granderson
The AAV is too high but at least its not a long term deal
Nah Cubs fan he's a winning player he jus cant stay healthy. He 💯 out performs Judge in the post season next year
