[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2022815, member: 746137"] Totally. If the batted ball data and vulnerability to fastballs later in the year is a sign of what's to come, him being able to stay and collect $50M for 2025-6 will suck, there is risk there, but you're exactly right, the Cubs have some reason to believe Bellinger might not be needed by 2025 and the chances are he does opt out. I think I said it elsewhere in the thread, I think the Cubs were always willing to pony up big money in the short term in order to sign a more flexible deal. $30M is a lot, but hardly crazy, positive all around.
