The Dodgers have long been fascinated with Snell, and now the left-hander joins an organization in need of more top-of-the-line pitching.

The Cubs want to trade Bellinger but such a deal is considered unlikely, according to The Athletic. Bellinger opted into the second season of a three-year, $80 million deal earlier this fall. After posting a .307 batting average and .525 slugging percentage and driving in 97 runs in 2023, Bellinger's numbers dipped this past season.
