Cody Bellinger Claims Dodgers Did Things the 'Right Way' in Comments on Astros and Red Sox Scandals
By Alex Coffman
The Los Angeles Dodges' search for glory in the MLB continues in 2020. The Dodgers suffered an early exit to the eventually National Champions the Washington Nationals last season, but Cody Bellinger seems to be alright with the Dodgers' recent playoff failures.
In a sit down with ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, Bellinger implies he is proud to be part of the Dodgers because they "did it the right way."
I spoke with Cody Bellinger about the Dodgers’ quiet offseason, his fast friendship with Christian Yelich, and losing the World Series to a couple of alleged sign-stealing teams.

“It’s gotta come to an end unless it’s gonna be a disaster.” https://t.co/AWP2iW6gUu
Bellinger's comments come on the heels of the sign-stealing scandal surrounding the Houston Astros, and now the Boston Red Sox. The reigning NL MVP was asked about the accusations by Gonzalez and responded by saying, "I think it's gotta come to an end unless it's gonna be a disaster. I think we have to do something about it."
Finally found some video footage of the Houston Astros cheating system from 2017, this time implemented against Rick Porcello and the Red Sox. The sound is very loud and clear. pic.twitter.com/lzdrevgAxP

The MLB is investigating the accusations against both the Astros and Red Sox, and commissioner Rob Manfred was frank in saying there will be "more serious sanctions" if these practices continued to occur.
Houston and Boston took down the Dodgers in the 2017 and 2018 World Series respectively, and fans in LA have every right to be salty considering the allegations surrounding both clubs.
The Dodgers have fallen short of their goal over the past few years, but Bellinger takes pride in the fact that the team didn't bend any rules in order to achieve success, unlike some of their opponents.
