Don't count out the Diamondbacks in the Cody Bellinger sweepstakesWhile those large market teams are in the best position to land Bellinger in what is likely going to be an overpay if he does in fact get what he’s looking for, the Arizona Diamondbacks are a team no one seems to be talking about as one that could feasibly sign Bellinger.
• The Diamondbacks have put together a recent track record of surprising some people in free agency and there’s no reason they can’t do it again this year. A few weeks ago, the Diamondbacks emerged as a suitor for Alex Bregman who very likely will make more money than Cody Bellinger in free agency, so the snakes do appear to be looking to make a big splash.
