Phillies eye Cody Bellinger as backup option if Juan Soto signs elsewhere
Summary: The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to sign Juan Soto in free agency but face challenges in securing him. If they cannot land Soto, they may turn to Cody Bellinger as an alternative option.
Bellinger, who signed a three-year, $80 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, has the option to opt out after this season. He could provide the Phillies with a strong outfield presence and improve their batting lineup.
The Phillies are known for quickly addressing roster needs. If Soto signs elsewhere, they are likely to pursue Bellinger to enhance their chances in the upcoming season.
