It was announced Wednesday morning that Chicago Cubs' Kris Bryant lost his grievance and will be under team control for two more seasons. Now the Atlanta Braves and other teams hoping to trade for him have some clarity.
We all knew Bryant was most likely going to lose his grievance, but for whatever reason, it took them almost three months to come to that conclusion.
Bryant has been rumored in trade speculation all offseason, but nothing could really happen until this grievance issue was taken care of.
Now that it has, you have to imagine that trade talks will pick up in the coming weeks before Spring Training.
