Rockies’ Kris Bryant wishes former team good luck in ‘different era of Cubs baseball’

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Eight months ago, a blue-pinstripe-clad Kris Bryant sat outside Coors Field, telling reporters how honored he felt each time he put on the Cubs’ uniform.

On Thursday, he donned a Rockies warmup shirt in front of a locker bearing his name at Salt River Fields.

‘‘It kind of has come full circle with the two teams that were really on me coming out of the draft,’’ Bryant said. ‘‘I get a chance to play for both of them.’’

The Cubs and Rockies play Friday at Sloan Park, pitting the team that drafted Bryant against the one that just signed him for the next seven years.
