The writing was on the wall regarding Bryant's grievance.
Cubs didn't technically do anything wrong, but I do feel for Bryant. He had 171/172 days required to fulfill a year of service time and still ended up playing a whole season in his rookie year (151 games, 650 PA) whilst essentially not getting the proper credit for it. On top of that, how much money is he potentially losing by hitting the free agent market at age 29 vs. 30?
