Jesse Rogers Makes ‘Bold Prediction’ That Kris Bryant More Likely on Opening Day Roster Than Yu Darvish

I know what a lot of you are thinking and I agree, there should be more productive ways to spend a morning than by breaking down another “bold prediction.” But I run a Cubs blog and was intrigued when Jesse Rogers teased this particular take in the moments leading up to his Wednesday appearance on ESPN 1000’s Kap & J.Hood. Then I saw Bleacher Nation’s headline and fought against my better judgment to listen to the audio (15:57 mark).

We’ll get to the prediction itself — which wasn’t actually that bold in the end — in a moment, but I first wanted to address the preamble to Rogers’ appearance.
