When we last heard about Kris Bryant’s grievance hearing, the report from Jon Heyman was that it could take arbitrator Mark Irvings “months” to come to a decision. Even at the bare minimum required to meet that standard, Bryant and the Cubs would be waiting until the end of the year to find out where they stood. Beyond that, the rest of MLB is waiting to find out whether a whole new precedent will be set.
No one wants such a long wait, nor does it appear as though Irvings will actually take that long to reach a conclusion in the matter.
