Chicago Cubs: Kris Bryant has a large chip on his shoulder
Once viewed as the cornerstone of a budding Chicago Cubs dynasty, Kris Bryant fell out of favor with many last season – but is now healthy and ready to rake.
After an offseason of inaction, posturing, politics, rumors, free agent forgoing and off-field troubles, Chicago Cubs fans and players were irrepressibly pining for Feb. 23. Taking on the Brewers at Sloan Park in Mesa to open things up in Cactus League play, the Cubs sent fans home happy.
To borrow a line from the great Mark Twain: it looks like the reports of the Cubs’ demise this offseason have been greatly exaggerated. It also looks like the reports of Kris Bryant‘s imminent decline were just a wee bit premature.
