Toronto Blue Jays fans divided over report team has reached out to former MVP and free agent Cody Bellinger

Cody Bellinger has officially become a free agent, and one of the teams reportedly showing interest in him is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays started the offseason by trading All-Star outfielder Teoscar Hernandez to the Seattle Mariners. Bellinger might be the next move they are planning to make. The former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder was the National League MVP in 2019.Since 2019, Cody Bellinger has struggled mightily, hence his current status as a free agent. After hitting for a batting average of .210 and posting a WAR of 1.2 in 2022, Bellinger needs to improve. His best chance may be with a new team, which is certainly what the Toronto Blue Jays are hoping for.Jon Morosi reported on the Blue Jays' interest in Bellinger via Twitter.Jon Morosi@jonmorosiSource: #BlueJays reached out to Cody Bellinger's camp to express interest after he was non-tendered.

After a disappointing playoff exit this past season, they know the lineup needs to improve to take the next step. There remains disagreement on whether or not Cody Bellinger is that improvement. If he can revert to his 2019 form, he absolutely is. However, that is far from a certainty.Billey@Cbills5233Very high reward!

Despite having a bonafide superstar in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a strong supporting cast, they have not found playoff success. Cody Bellinger might not be the instant boost they need, but he could be a great depth piece.The Hot Corner Podcast@HotCornerPod@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB Perfect low-risk high-reward acquisition if the Jays can get it done #NextLevel1@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB Perfect low-risk high-reward acquisition if the Jays can get it done #NextLevelObie Jean@obie2327@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB The Jays could do much much better!@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB The Jays could do much much better!Ken Saunders@mgrappler@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB Nothing but reclamation projects with these clowns.2@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB Nothing but reclamation projects with these clowns.Bellinger will likely not command an expensive contract coming off of his 2022 season. Recency bias means teams will likely point to the more recent struggling performances than his dominant 2019 campaign. Until he shows that he can play at that level again, Bellinger will have a point to prove.Teddy@Toronto_Sports@jonmorosi @MLBNetwork @MLB interested and signing are two different things.

A change of scenery and a new coaching staff might be exactly what he needs. There is no greater change of scenery possible in the MLB than going from Los Angeles to Toronto.Bellinger will have his pick of destinations, but don't be surprised if he chooses to go north of the border.
