[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1515243, member: 26283"] There is very little evidence that Kris Bryant wants to leave the Cubs. There’s the grievance that the MLBPA filed on his behalf 5 years ago and that’s it. The only public statement he’s made is that he wants to be a Cub. Where he plays after becoming a free agent will come down to money, but there’s no evidence that if the Cubs field a competitive offer he wouldn’t come back to the Cubs. I think the issues are all on the Cubs side of the equation and I think they’d choose to keep him if they thought they could afford to keep him. Right now it seems like they’ve made the (utterly, completely, stupidly ludicrous) decision that they can’t afford to keep him. So right now it looks like they’re going to try to trade him. Trying to find recent trades of comparable players with 2 years left of team control, the best comp I could find was Marcell Ozuna. The Cards gave up two top 100 prospects and a couple more legitimate prospects to get Ozuna. The Cubs will be looking for something significantly more than that. [/QUOTE]
