Dodgers: Cody Bellinger Selling His Arizona Mansion
Cody Bellinger is still a couple of years away from free agency, but thanks to his early career accolades, he’s got plenty of money to live the good life. At least, good enough to buy a new home in his hometown of Chandler, Arizona while listing his current abode for a whopping $4M.
According to realtor.com, Bellinger recently listed his 4,500-square-foot compound that includes a private airplane hangar and an indoor basketball court. The 2019 NL MVP purchased the home back in 2020 for $2.85M.
Cody was born in Scottsdale, but played his high school ball at Hamilton High School in Chandler.
This season, Bellinger has struggled at the plate (.695 OPS). It hasn’t been quite as bad as his 2021 campaign where he hit .165 in 350 plate appearances, but for the second season in a row, Bellinger has been far from the all-world slugger that he was in 2019.
Despite his offensive woes, Bellinger has provided the Dodgers with top shelf defense in centerfield.

In a flurry of moves on Saturday, the Dodgers placed Max Muncy on the injured list and promoted veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar from Triple-A. LA signed Pillar to a minor league deal this past offseason. The longtime Blue Jays outfielder has been crushing Triple-A pitching as a member of the OKC Dodgers. The LA Valley native has logged a 1.034 OPS in 36 minor league games.
Manager Dave Roberts hinted that Pillar will get a start or two while he’s on the roster.
The Dodgers also optioned Ryan Pepiot, who made the third big league start of his career on Friday against Arizona, and promoted Michael Grove.

Dodgers Win Another Behind Tony Gonsolin’s Outstanding Start
Bellinger needs to get his offensive problems fixed. He is not worth the $17 million he is getting. He is a great defensive outfielder but so far a real swing and miss or pull the ball into a double play guy. Not smart enough to bunt or punch the ball to the left side and get a double as there isn’t anyone there!!
