The Cubs and star third baseman Kris Bryant have reached an $18.6 million deal for 2020, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Chicago and Bryant settled on a deal ahead of Friday's noon CT deadline for sharing proposed salary figures with arbitration-eligible players. Javier Baez, Kyle Swarber, Albert Almora Jr., Willson Contreras and Kyle Ryan are also among the club's 2020 arbitration class.
In 2019, Bryant earned $12.9 million and earned his third All-Star nod. He hit .282 with 31 home runs and 77 RBI in 147 games.
The Cubs selected Bryant in the first round of the 2013 amateur draft.
