Cubs Excited for Bellinger's Return in 2025

The Los Angeles Angels' recent acquisition of Jorge Soler from the Atlanta Braves has raised questions, especially regarding the potential for Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon to occupy the designated hitter role due to their injury histories. Trout has expressed willingness to play in the outfield, but the Angels prefer limiting his DH usage based on concerns that swinging exacerbates his injuries. Meanwhile, the GM Meetings in San Antonio have sparked excitement among Cubs players, particularly Ian Happ, for Cody Bellinger's return, seen as a boost for team morale and performance potential. The Cubs are also navigating a period of potential organizational changes and trade discussions, while the Brewers' decision to decline Devin Williams's option may signal a shift in the market. As teams evaluate their rosters, players like Roki Sasaki are drawing attention as potential acquisitions. The upcoming offseason is set to be crucial for shaping team dynamics and competitive edge across the league.
