Continued from Today's Game

I think there's very little chance of Bryant being a Cub past next year. He's had nagging injuries in three straight seasons, and he has been bad when he has tried to play through them. Players who start getting hurt a lot in their 20s usually continue to get hurt in their 30s. He just hasn't been healthy enough to justify paying him into his mid-late 30s.

I'd be shocked if they non-tendered him. But I wouldn't be surprised if the front office decides to trade him for underwhelming return because they feel they're better off having his money available to spend somewhere else. Same with Schwarber.


Tommy Hottovy has received applause for the success of the pitching staff.


So, looking at the lack of success of the hitters, why hasn't the name of the hitting coach, Anthony Iapoce, ever come up?
