Revisiting Kris Bryant trade situation 2 weeks before Phillies spring training

While it looks increasingly likely that Colorado opens the season with Arenado, a big piece of the Bryant puzzle was finally solved earlier this week when an arbiter ruled in favor of the Cubs, determining that Bryant would not gain an extra year of service time for the clear manipulation the Cubs pulled with him in 2015 when they called him up to the majors one day after the cutoff. It means that Bryant is under two full years of club control. It's a huge benefit to the Cubs because two years of a very good player will net you more in a trade than one.
