It’s safe to say that Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant had himself a fantastic year after not only eclipsing long-standing franchise rookie records set by Billy Williams but added N.L. Rookie of the Year to his resume.
Entering the season, there was a bit of drama involving both Bryant and the Cubs when his agent, the infamous Scott Boras, bashed the team for sending his client to the minor league’s despite his 2014 and Cactus League performance.
The business side of this game can be brutal, which later resulted in a grievance being filed shortly after the Cubs were eliminated by the New York Mets.
