Chicago Cubs Star Expected to Depart Team

Rumors Swirl Surrounding Bryant's Cubs Future

At the conclusion of the 2021 regular season, speculation immediately began regarding the future of third baseman Kris Bryant and his tenure with the Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old veteran played a pivotal role in the Cubs' 2016 World Series win but is now facing free agency after declining his qualifying offer from the team.

Bryant's Impressive Resume

Since joining the Cubs in 2015, Bryant has established himself as one of the National League's premier players. He was named the 2016 National League Rookie of the Year and has been selected to four All-Star teams. In 2016, Bryant won the NL MVP award after hitting .292 with 39 home runs and 102 RBIs.

Potential Landing Spots

If Bryant indeed departs Chicago, several teams are expected to pursue his services. The New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly among the most interested suitors. Bryant would provide a significant upgrade to each of these teams and could help them contend for a World Series title.
