It’s been widely assumed that Kris Bryant could be traded this offseason and that all the Cubs are waiting for is the result of his service-time grievance before they ship him to the Braves, or Nationals, or Phillies, or someone even not in the N.L. East.

From yesterday. Did not include possibility of trade for #Cubs’ Bryant. To this point, per sources, those talks have gone nowhere. https://t.co/Cd5uBTm9bJ

Rosenthal refers to the Nats’ Friday signing of former Cub Starlin Castro to a two-year contract.
