The future of Cody Bellinger remains one of the hottest topics in Major League Baseball this offseason, and Scott Boras, his infamous agent, has once again stirred the pot with a cryptic comment that may signal a potential reunion with the Chicago Cubs.
With reports indicating that the Cubs are unlikely to pursue top free agent Kyle Tucker—due to the $400 million deal he’s expected to command—the team’s front office is turning its attention to other options to replace Tucker’s production in their lineup. Among those options is Cody Bellinger, who played for the Cubs in 2023 and 2024 before being traded to the New York Yankees last offseason when Chicago acquired Tucker.
Bellinger had a strong season in the Bronx, hitting .272 with 29 home runs and 98 RBIs. A reunion with the Cubs would seem to make sense—if both sides can look past the trade that sent Bellinger away. The question now is whether Bellinger would be interested in returning to Chicago.
When asked about the possibility of Bellinger rejoining the Cubs, Boras offered a telling response: “Cody wants to be in a place where winning is the priority, where the team is consistently competing for championships. Chicago is a great city, but it’s about being part of a team that’s pushing for the ultimate goal.”
Boras’ statement is raising eyebrows and sparking discussions among Cubs fans. Some believe the Cubs’ playoff berth in 2025 proves they’re on the right path, but others may question whether Chicago’s inconsistent record in recent years aligns with Bellinger’s desire to join a team poised for sustained success.
As the Cubs continue to evaluate their offseason strategy, the potential for a Bellinger return hangs in the balance. Fans will need to watch closely as the situation unfolds. One thing is certain—Boras’ cryptic comments will keep Bellinger’s future in Chicago on everyone’s radar.
“I’m just focused on winning for the team, but the records keep stacking up, and it’s an honor to be mentioned with the best.”
— Jared Goff on his record-setting performance in Detroit Lions’ dominant 44-22 win against the Washington Commanders.
Jared Goff’s incredible season continues to turn heads across the NFL as the Detroit Lions’ starting quarterback adds yet another chapter to his historic career. In a commanding 44-22 victory over the Washington Commanders, Goff not only propelled his team to a 6-3 record but also reached new heights that solidified his status as one of the league’s top quarterbacks.
Goff’s 320 yards and three touchdowns against Washington are just the latest in a season that has seen him shatter multiple Lions’ records. With this victory, Goff’s total passing yards for the season now stands at 2,235, with 20 touchdowns—tied for the second-most in franchise history in a single season. He now ranks alongside Lions legend Matthew Stafford (who threw 20 TD passes in 2011) and Bobby Layne (24 TD passes in 1954), and only Stafford’s 41 touchdowns in 2011 stand ahead of him.
But Goff’s accomplishments don’t stop there. His career-long ability to reach the 300-yard passing mark continues to impress as he recorded his 44th career game with 300+ yards, putting him in the company of NFL greats like Dan Marino and Drew Brees for the most such games in the first 10 seasons of a career. With eight games still remaining in the season, Goff has a real chance to close the gap on Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan, who sit ahead of him with 49 and 45 300-yard games, respectively.
On top of his yardage and touchdown milestones, Goff also set a new NFL record for the most consecutive away games with a completion percentage over 70%, marking his eighth straight game with such a feat. His performance in Week 10 added to his legacy, with his passer rating also surpassing 100 for the 65th time in his career, ranking him fourth in NFL history for quarterbacks in their first 10 seasons.
Most notably, Goff’s completion rate of 74% this season is the best in the NFL, making him one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league and cementing his place among the elite. With his stellar numbers and continued improvement, Goff’s 2025 campaign is shaping up to be the best in Detroit Lions’ history, outpacing even legendary quarterbacks who came before him.
As Goff’s name continues to climb the ranks of NFL history, it’s clear that his decision to return to Detroit in 2021 was a pivotal moment. With head coach Dan Campbell’s leadership and the support of a top-tier offense, Goff is turning into one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the league. While Stafford has excelled with the Los Angeles Rams, Goff is proving that his place in Detroit’s legacy is only just beginning, and his best years are still ahead of him.
