Kris Bryant is expected to know if his grievance against the Chicago Cubs will put him a year closer to free agency or not in the next few weeks. It’s widely believed that the Cubs could ramp up trade talks for Bryant if he only has two more years of team control. Is there any chance that Brewers GM David Stearns can even get the Cubs on the phone to discuss a deal?
Why did Bryant file a grievance?
Bryant filed a grievance after the 2015 season that alleged that the Cubs intentionally manipulated his service time to get an extra year of team control.
