During this past offseason, the stark prospect surrounding the Chicago Cubs trading star third baseman Kris Bryant took center stage across all avenues in baseball. Bryant and the Cubs butted heads concerning his service time grievance, which stemmed from 2015 when Chicago chose to wait to promote Bryant to the majors to gain an extra year of control.
In January, Bryant officially lost his grievance. As many fans know, it allows the club to retain control of Bryant through the 2021 season. Moving toward what everyone hopes will be the start of the 2020 season at the end of July, the trade rumors have vamped up as Cubs fans, and fans across baseball, continue to perseverate on the 28-year-old’s future.
