I would 'like' your comment, but you already have 17 thumbs-up, so I would only spoil things.👍 KB's first season in Arizona was a lost year, but he's off to a good start in 2023. A genuinely good guy.

He did have best goofiest face of all time in that moment lol

Also man don't you mean San Francisco and Colorado

We will keep him in SF. Why he was traded is crazy. If SF can win the World Series this year, he will key to the win.

@@johnm840 what you say is true, pretty sure I remember him saying he grew up a Giants fan so I could see it. I will be a fan of his no matter where he plays regardless. But I also remember people saying what you said about Madison Bumgarner. Look what happened there.

@@Pliskin2894 In Giants broadcast area, so I get all the games , and talking heads on Tv and Radio talk about them all the time. A's don't get such a saturated coverage. Madison getting dealt sucked , but player movements is part of it. I try to watch his games in AZ still when I can. I like to watch the best players when I can. so KB here is a huge bonus. Not only is he a great player but a good person too... Not like some of these players like Lebron, all of his anti-American talk too much for me. I digress. Javy, now he's a fun player to watch, wish he got traded with KB to SF.

He will

@@johnm840 low market team so highly doubted

Me too

@@robbyel3958 I've been a Cubs Fan since Jack Brickhouse sat in the Booth =)

So you’re a fair-weather?

@@Tardisius With Lloyd Petit. Lou Boudreau on the radio side.

@@claydouglas2526 most people are. No big deal. I’ve been a bulls fan since the 90s, and it’s been tough the past few years watching the games until this year. Most fans don’t enjoy watching their teams lose. I feel sorry for lions and jets fans. Lol

@claydouglas2526 well when you lose for 100 years yeah lol

Right, another era come and gone. I felt this exact way at the end of the late 90s early 2000s. When Sosa, Wood, Prior, and team split up.

@@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537 A new era is coming .... 2024-2029 ... take it to da bank! 8-)

Always will

I’m a life long White Sox fan as well but when I heard that Rizzo, Baez, and Bryant I was really sad because they bring a World Series to Chicago but now who knows what will happen with both teams now.

@@Hunter-qv5pc Cubs fan and I felt the same joy when Konerko and those boys brought a WS to Chitown in 06… well at least Konerko was able to finish out his career as a White Sox. Seeing the core pieces go hurts but I guess it had to be done. We weren’t winning with the old core anymore 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was crying my eyes out when this happened and I’m a giants fan

We really fucked up. They took for granted all their good players and offered them pennys on the dollar

I had a dream last night that he came back

That's baseball business

@@Clancysway No thats greedy owners who are not true baseball fans first!

@@tomlovejoy1534 aka baseball business, learn to read

@@Clancysway When you have been a Cubs fan since 1966 like me..a team owner should be the biggest fan..then the profits will roll in after the fact!

It's a business and it's a sport. Decisions have to make sense for winning and for profit. Looking at what Bryant has done since, it was a good decision. The "biggest fan" is one that wants their team to be successful, not one that gets overly attached to certain players to the detriment of the team.

We had to trade him, he would have been a free agent and we don’t have the money to pay him. So we Either had to trade him or let him walk away at the end of the season with no return whatsoever.

@@Chillydall02 Thank you Josh. I did think it was the money that kept him from a renewed contract. Some players, even if they are worth the money, may not be signed because of budget constraints, but I was so used to these guys being a part of the Cubs team. I wish them all continued success. Have a wonderful day.

@@copp214 yeah definitely, even though I knew we were gonna most likely trade him, it just doesn’t feel right. I thought he was gonna be in a Cubs uniform for his whole career. You have a good day as well.

@@Chillydall02 cubs do have the money its just the ricketts are cheapskates

@@nox1ck589 Kinda like Phil Wrigley was.

"JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST a bit outside!" Gotta love Bob Uecker.

As a Giant fan, he is appreciated here. I stop what I'm doing to watch his at bats. An amazing player, still shocked we got him.

He's the NL version of Eloy Jimenez, often injured.

I was just thinking that right before I found your comment

when Kris decides to call it a career I hope he joins our radio team like Ron did

And Ernie and Glenn and Don and Billy and José and Kenny and Fergie...

I'm not even a Cubs fan I'm a White Sox fan and I got emotional. Rizzo is one of my favorite players he just a nice guy that loves baseball.

Giants might need KB, but KB doesn't need the Giants

@@ldgh47 I was gonna say...

Like since it happened or when you think about it?

@@turkwendell6904 thinking back thru the whole season.. I watch a highlight video every now & then.

@@rickpolhemus for sure

Isn't your name like a Beatles song or something and isn't that like picture of like the Beatles or something? And yeah you're right about Bryant

@@turkwendell6904 yeah it's the song taxman

It's great when the players actually give a shit

Agreed

it would've been ideal but not real if we didn't let him go we'd waste an opportunity to boltser our futures and free up financial room for any free agents we might not have signed Marcus Stroman if Bryant had stayed, though despite all of that Kris has total autonomy over where he goes next

Rizzo would've worn 44, but the Yankees retired it Baez and Bryant both agreed to wear 23 in tribute to Chicago (Michael Jordan)

@@thedude3065 Yup,for Reggie Jackson. Even though I'm a Yankee fan,I've always had a spot in my heart for the Cubbies. It doesn't feel right for Rizzo being anywhere else but Chicago. Aaron Judge also wears 99 because he couldn't get 44 or 9,which Reggie wore in Oakland

@@thedude3065 Classy move by Bryant and Baez

@@thedude3065 well I know rizzo can’t wear it cuz Reggie but thx for the other 2 I didn’t know that
