[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2015166, member: 746137"] An ESPN (paywalled) projection from yesterday had 7 years, $147 million. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/39484820/mlb-2024-ranking-top-free-agents-available-bellinger-snell-chapman-montgomery[/URL] Brandon Nimmo got 8/162 last year with a vaguely similar profile. The Cubs signed Dansby Swanson for 7/177 last year as well. I'm sure the Cubs would be willing to do something shorter term in exchange for a higher AAV than that, not sure whether it would interest Bellinger though. In terms of what would be a crazy and bad contract, double digit years, a $200M+ guarantee, or as is always a risk with Boras, something where Bellinger can become a free agent again soon if things go well, but the Cubs are left holding a massive albatross if they don't.
