Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant lost his grievance in which he sought
an extra year of service time, ensuring he won't become a free agent until
after the 2021 season, sources familiar with the ruling told ESPN.
Major League Baseball arbitrator Mark Irvings' ruling in favor of the team
was long expected, sources said, and it definitively locks in Bryant's value
as Chicago considers trading him. With two seasons of team control, the Cubs
can seek a far greater return than they could have had Bryant won and
accelerated his free agency.
Kris Bryant不易外的輸掉仲裁 所以小熊可以多爽用一年
交易價值也變高了
雖然當初只差一天就達標 但仲裁員還是認為小熊一切都依法處理 沒有問題
The ruling, which sources said is going through its final reviews before
being made public within a week, held that the Cubs did not run afoul of
service-time rules when they called Bryant to the major leagues on April 17,
2015. He had spent the first two weeks of the season in Triple-A after a
dominant spring training. Had the Cubs summoned Bryant a day earlier, he
would have ended the season with 172 days of service, or a full year.
Instead, with 171 days, Bryant fell short of a year by one day
