Sports Talk Live: Cubs convention edition
Does Kris Bryant know something we don't about Bryce Harper?Theo Epstein isn't trying out his hidden ball trick this winter.
He admitted as much during his annual press conference at Cubs Convention Friday evening at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, saying "it continues to be extremely unlikely" the Cubs will add a mega free agent this winter.
No, that wasn't one more ruse before the Cubs had Bryce Harper hop out from behind the curtain and run across the stage to surprise Cubs fans at Opening Ceremonies (a la Kerry Wood earlier this decade).
The only Harper descending upon Chicago was the winter storm creating Convention travel issues.
Obviously that's not what fans want to hear.
