One of the bigger stories in this weird, weird offseason was the rumor the Chicago Cubs might not offer a contract to their former MVP, former Rookie of the Year, three-time All Star, 28-year-old third baseman. The whole concept of this post was around that idea, but I was too slow. The rumors now are that the Cubs will tender a contract to Bryant, so we need to start some new rumors.
There will be many players nontendered tomorrow, and big names. But Kris Bryant will not be one of them. Chance longtime teammates Kyle Schwarber and/or Albert Almora are among many MLB nontenders, but Cubs see KB’s .
