Cody Bellinger found himself on the move in the free-agent market just four seasons after he won the National League MVP award with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Bellinger agreed to a one-year, $17.5 million deal with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, MLB.com reported. Bellinger was non-tendered by the Dodgers last month after becoming a force in the lineup.

In 745 games, he hit .248 with a .819 OPS and 152 home runs. However, over the last two seasons, the outfielder had been hurt and fell into a slump in 2022. He played in only 95 games in 2021 after leading the Dodgers to a World Series title in 2020. In 144 games in 2022, he only hit .210 with 19 home runs and 27 doubles.

Bellinger will join a Cubs team that finished 74-88 and in the middle of the National League Central division. The team has only made the playoffs once since 2019 – in the 2020 coronavirus pandemic-impacted season. The team has failed to reach 80 wins in its last two seasons.

Cubs manager David Ross was on MLB Network when he heard of the Bellinger report.

"He's got a track record of a lot of success and dynamic defense," Ross said. "I remember when he first got in the league. First base, smooth hands, dynamic center fielder, great outfielder. You know, he hasn't had the success he had early on, but definitely a lot of potential for a great player."

Ross believed injuries made a major impact on Bellinger’s game over the last two seasons.

"That's got to play a part in it," Ross added. "Playing through an injury, trying to come back and learning how to balance wanting to be out on the field and actually getting fully healthy, I think is what a lot of players -- in my experience -- deal with.

"And trying to rush back and maybe not getting all the way there. And then getting into a space where, you know, you've got a leg issue, you've got a shoulder issue, and you get into some bad habits, or bad habits create mistakes or make it tougher to hit. And then you get into this rabbit hole of chasing the feeling that you used to have and where you're at mechanically."

Wife of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Lauren Hashian, sang the national anthem in front of thousands at a filled SoFi Stadium on Sunday for the NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. 

Johnson, along with he and Hashian's two daughters, Jasmine and Tiana, watched Hashian's performance proudly from the sidelines. The "Black Adam" actor took to Instagram to share his feelings about the emotional moment. 

"Me holding my babies tight, while their mama @laurenhashianofficial sings a powerful & inspiring National Anthem to 70,000 strong at @sofistadium-will go down as one of the greatest and most moving moments of my life," Johnson wrote on Instagram accompanied by a video of the three watching Hashian.

"As a father, it rocked my soul to hold our little ones in this milestone moment, as I could literally feel their proud energy and vibration for their mama singing-they felt it," the actor continued. 

"At these little ages, they don't understand how meaningful this moment is for our family and how incredibly important the words of this song are to our great country and every American in it. It's my job to explain it and teach them one day as their father I can't wait," the actor wrote. "Man you can can FEEL THE MANA in the air as Lauren sings."

Johnson wrapped up his post sharing how emotional he felt listening to his wife sing the powerful lyrics of the nation's song.

"Good thing I had my glasses on because as Lauren rounded the corner with ‘…gave proof through the night that our fag was still there. Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave…' and I looked down and saw my girls with their little hands over their hearts…that was it for me. Daddy was done," Johnson explained in the post. 

"Congratulations to my beautiful wife, Lauren on this incredible career milestone and American honor. You are the real superstar of our family," The Rock concluded his post. 

Johnson and Hashian first met in 2006 while he was filming "The Game Plan," and they started dating the following year. The two got married in August 2019. Their oldest daughter, Jasmine was born in December 2015 and their youngest Tiana was born in April 2018. 

Prior to Hashian, Johnson was married to Dany Garcia, and they share a daughter Simone.
