Cody Bellinger is officially back on the market.
The outfielder made his player opt-out official on Monday, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed, forgoing the final year and $25 million left on his contract with the Yankees to become a free agent again.
Mutual interest in a reunion is expected, but there will be other bidders for the 30-year-old’s services coming off a strong season in The Bronx.
While providing quality defense in all three outfield spots and first base along with strong baserunning, Bellinger hit .272 with an .813 OPS, 29 home runs and 13 steals.
His 5.0 bWAR was his highest since accruing 8.7 during his National League MVP season with the Dodgers in 2019.

Bellinger signed a three-year, $80 million contract with the Cubs ahead of the 2024 season, which included player opt-outs after the first and second years.
He did not exercise it after his first season with the Cubs, who then dealt him to the Yankees in a salary dump.
Kyle Tucker, who the Cubs acquired in part to replace Bellinger, is set to be the top free agent position player on the market this winter, though Bellinger may not be far behind.
