Man, this has been a weird couple of days here in mid-October. And the worst part? The Chicago Cubs aren’t even playing in the postseason. First, we had the report from David Kaplan regarding Kris Bryant supposedly turning down a $200 million extension in the past ‘several’ months.
Then, Sahadev Sharma and The Athletic kind of took Kaplan to task (as did all of Cubs Twitter) over that ‘several’ language. The ESPN 1000 host backpedaled, trying to justify his comments, but came out for the worse at the end of it all.
