Breaking News: Chicago Cubs Top Star Confirms He Wants To Return………

Posted on May 21, 2025

In a significant development for the Chicago Cubs, outfielder Cody Bellinger has opted to return for the 2025 season, exercising his $27.5 million player option. This decision ensures that the 29-year-old former National League MVP will remain on the North Side of Chicago for a third consecutive season.

Bellinger had the opportunity to test free agency but chose to stay with the Cubs, who hold a $2.5 million buyout option for the 2026 season, with Bellinger also having an opt-out after 2025. ([Cody Bellinger exercises player option, return to Cubs in 2025 – CBS Chicago](

Bellinger signed a three-year, $90 million contract with the Cubs before the 2024 season. In 2024, he played all three outfield positions and first base, finishing the season with a .266 batting average, 18 home runs, nine stolen bases, and 78 RBIs.

While these numbers were a decline from his 2023 performance (.307, 26 HR, 20 SB, 97 RBIs), Bellinger’s versatility and experience remain valuable assets to the team. ([Report: Cody Bellinger returning to Cubs in 2025]
