"What makes a trade for him so interesting is his contract. At the end of the year, Cody Bellinger has the option to opt out of his contract, taking a $2.5 million buyout or collect $27.5 million in 2025, with another $25 million option and a $5 million buyout in 2026.
Much of that hinges on how he finishes the 2024 campaign, but he could potentially fill a void for the Braves in 2025 because Ronald Acuna Jr. most likely won’t be playing in the outfield next season."
