Around midday Thursday, Cubs (and Mets) fans got momentarily excited when this tweet from Mets writer Andy Martino hit Twitter:
On January 6, we reported that any talks between Mets and Cubs on Kris Bryant were no longer active. That was true at the time. TIL it has changed since. Unclear how likely it is to happen, but there is at least something there.

“Something there.” No mention of what that something is, no rumored return, just one tweet.
