I know, I know, these are back-to-back-to-back house names that we have become quite familiar with since the start of the season. But the fact is, the last three players mentioned are still young and under contract for the Dodgers past the 2019 season.

Cody Bellinger, 21, may have arrived at the big leagues a little earlier than expected. He missed the MLB roster out of spring training but was forced to the big leagues when the Dodgers were victims of several injuries to the outfield.

Well since then, Bellinger has done nothing but rake big league pitching. Bellinger has proven he belongs in the majors and has shown that his power more than translates to the big league fields. He’s resumed the first base starting role with Adrian Gonzalez recently hitting the DL, but this looks to be his position for as long as he’s a Dodger.

Bellinger is playing out his rookie season, so he will likely be under contract until 2023 and won’t be eligible for arbitration until 2020. So while I know this is the first time we’ve seen Seager and Bellinger in the lineup together, we can certainly get used to these two hitting close to one another.
