I mean...it's pretty blatant it was done intentionally. And I don't blame the Cubs one bit. It's the smart move to make and not having Bryant for those 2 weeks really didn't make a big difference.

I can't see how this grievance goes anywhere. If you award Bryant extra service time, you create a slippery slope. If the MLBPA wants to take issue with this, they need to work out something for the next CBA.
lol yeah, during that time EVERYBODY was lauding the Cubs for doing exactly that, for exactly that reason. Why wait until now to make a stink about it?
