Chicago Cubs: After bounceback season, Kris Bryant is ready for more

This wasn’t how Kris Bryant expected the season to end for his Chicago Cubs. After spraining his ankle on a rain-soaked first base bag, he sat in the visitor’s dugout at Busch Stadium, watching the rival St. Louis Cardinals put the finishing touches on a National League Central crown – the team’s first since 2015.

That’s how too many fans will remember Bryant’s 2019 performance – with him either sidelined or playing at less than 100 percent because of injuries. Still, the three-time All-Star turned in a 130 OPS+ and eclipsed 30 home runs for the second time in his career.
