DeKALB — The Chicago Cubs might be looking to part ways with third baseman Kris Bryant amidst his denied grievance claim for service time manipulation. Bryant and his agent Scott Boras claimed the Cubs kept him off the opening day roster in 2015 so the club could have an extra year of control.
Arbitrator Mark Irvings ruled against that claim by Bryant’s camp and ruled in favor of the Cubs on Jan. 29. With the ruling the Cubs now have Bryant under control for the next two seasons, but in the minds of many, Bryant’s days as a Cub are numbered.
