But wait, Jon Morosi tells us…the Mets might get Cody Bellinger!
That's the Cody Bellinger who has hit 102 HR over rhe past five seasons, averaging 20 per season, never more than 29.
Meanwhile, Baltimore just got revenge for 1969 by adding somebody who hit 193 dingers over those seasons, averaging over 38 per season, never less than 34.
Of course, there's more to offense than Home Runs. There's batting average, such as the lovely .165 that Bellinger hit for the Dodgers in 2021.
(His final two years in LA were so bad, the
combined WAR was -0.3)
I'd rather the Mets signed Cody Rhodes.
(Cody lost the "LoveStache" over a decade ago. More's the pity.
