Cubs’ Epstein unready to discuss Bryant’s status, says coronavirus ‘in control right now’

Cubs president Theo Epstein isn’t ready to talk about the future of All-Star third baseman Kris Bryant.

Epstein isn’t even ready to talk wins and losses in 2020.

“Right now, it’s hard enough to predict what tomorrow or next week will look like,” he said. “It’s a fool’s errand, I think, to try to predict what next year will look like or the next five years. That’s just the reality of the world we’re in.”

Reality? Here’s a bitter mouthful: Every team in the majors is a house of cards right now.
