CHICAGO—Kris Bryant has lost his service-time grievance against the Chicago Cubs, providing some clarity for the team and the all-star third baseman with spring training on the horizon. Now that Bryant’s status is settled, the Cubs might decide to trade the 2016 National League MVP for financial flexibility and an injection of talent for their sagging minor league system. Bryant starred at the University of San Diego before he was selected by Chicago with the No. He rocketed through the Cubs’ farm system and made his major league debut on April 17, 2015. Bryant batted .282 with 31 homers, 77 RBIs and 108 runs in 2019, but Chicago finished third in the division and missed the playoffs.
