Bryant lost his grievance. He contended that he was entitled to a full year as his rookie season but the arbitrator disagreed, holding that he was one day short. Thus he is Cubs' property until the end of the 2021 season. As a Cub fan I should be happy. But Bryant has only one career and he should be entitled to earn market value.
On second thought, what am I thinking? He is, and will always be, a millionaire. How much money can one person spend in a lifetime? If he has heirs what did they do to inherit millions, other than to be fortunate enough to be fathered by a great athlete?
Screw capitalism!
I'm sure that if the Cubs don't pay Bryant market value once he's a free agent, they'll pass the savings along to the fans, right?

The Ricketts make me want to be a Deadbird fan.
