I was made aware of this rumor by a tweet addressed to Bleacher Nation, where I subsequently read a detailed post on the latest installment of a potential Kris Bryant-to-Braves trade. You may want to go ahead and check that original post out, because it really doesn’t behoove me to retread all the same ground here. I will, however, echo BN’s thoughts that the specificity of this rumor makes it stand out from its predecessors.
Before getting into that, let’s note that this is based on the assumption that Bryant will lose his service time grievance and will still have two years of club control remaining.
