Unlikely to be traded before season Bryant is unlikely to be traded during spring training but could get moved before the trade deadline, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bryant and the Cubs agreed to terms on a one-year, $19.5 million deal in January, so his outlook in Chicago beyond 2021 is certainly unclear. With the organization already dealing Yu Darvish and moving on from Jon Lester and Jose Quintana, it's certainly possible that Bryant gets traded as part of a full-on rebuild. However, it seems like any potential deal won't come until sometime in the summer and could hinge on how the Cubs perform to start the season.

Signs one-year deal Bryant and the Cubs agreed to terms on a one-year, $19.5 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Bryant gets an unusually small raise for a player who signed for $18.6 million last offseason, though it's hard to say he deserves anything more given the extent of his struggles in 2020. He hit just .206/.293/.351, well below the .284/.385/.516 line he managed over his first five seasons. Whether or not another team wants to trade for Bryant on that salary in hopes of a bounceback season in his final year of arbitration remains to be seen.
