[Rogers] Cody Bellinger on being traded: “I understand. I get it. I get business. Very good at separating the business and the baseball. I’m the baseball player and there are business people in this game so I just want to prepare and play the best baseball I can play.”

  1. He’s very sad that he’ll have to play postseason baseball again. It’s rough, not being able to book a golf trip for October.

  2. Wasn’t there a post yesterday about how Belli begged for this and wanted his agent to do anything to make it happen?

  3. I’m just thankful someone asked him the question, whatever the question was that gave us this not at all generic answer that he had little choice in giving.

  4. Can’t really complain when you’ve gone from the Dodgers to the Cubs to the Yankees, 3 marquee, big market clubs. Wonder if he’d have the same opinion if the destinations were different

  5. I for one am shocked he isn’t upset over being traded to the lowly Yankees. This guy must truly understand & love the sport. Wow.

  6. Is this not the ideal trade for him. The Yankees stadium right field porch could rejuvenate his career

  7. Spam. You know I read a funny blog once about how Fidel Castro tried to make it into MLB before becoming himself.
    My father was a big baseball fan. Naturally that’s exactly like a local businessman.
    As I look back on that blog though, it has a lot more meaning now.
    On a separate subject, but related by location of the “baseball club” you are referring to – When I think of Josh Hawley, do you think that I misspell his name the way that your friends at grocery outlet do?

  8. I think its weird that sports seems fine with these big companies trading employees to other companies on the other side of the country and the employee just has to accept it and move, or be unemployed. If any other industry operated like that people would think its fucked up.

    When was the last time you walked in to work and got told that now you work for a competitor thousands of miles away because they bought your contract?

  9. Clase y profesionalismo de Bellinger. Siempre enfocado en el juego, admirable actitud.

  10. Sounds like he’s going to work on his swing a bit. I’m sure it will work out for everyone involved.

  11. I’m a baseball man and as a baseball man, I understand I must do baseball things or business things as being a baseball man compels one to do. In short, baseball men like me are knowing that business is in baseball.
