Kris Bryant
« on: January 29, 2020, 12:56:45 PM »
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.
