MLB Rumors: Kris Bryant and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to terms on a 7 year, $182 million deal, per reports. Bryant is also apparently getting a no-trade clause.
This is a move that is...unexpected, I would say. Bryant, 30, was rumored to be possibly non-tendered after a down 2020 season that saw him put up a 644 OPS for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs ended up holding onto him, though rumors indicated they were shopping him aggressively last offseason.
The decision paid off for the Cubs, as Bryant rebounded to have a solid season, and they were able to move him to San Francisco for Alexander Canario and Caleb Kilian at the trade deadline.
