Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant is due for a considerable paycheck when he becomes a free agent after the 2021 season.

Soon, Cubs star third baseman Kris Bryant will become a free agent.

After the 2021 season, his sixth full year in the league, Bryant will have a significant decision to make unless the Cubs pony up and offer him a contract extension before then or decide to trade the 28-year-old slugger.

This winter, Bryant lost a highly publicized service-time grievance against the Chicago Cubs, barring him from becoming a free agent one year earlier.
