Padres Passing On Kris Bryant
5 years agoThe Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres recently had trade discussions involving third baseman Kris Bryant, with the Cubs primarily asking for starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet and catching prospect Luis Campusano in return, but the Padres declined. Bryant can play the outfield as well, but he's primarily a third baseman, and the Padres already have Manny Machado entrenched there. It's believed that the Cubs will hang onto Bryant to open the 2020 season, but he could still be a trade candidate at some point this year, as he's not set to become a free agent until after the 2021 season.
