- Kris Bryant has -170 odds to remain with the Chicago Cubs through the trade deadline.
- The Chicago White Sox (+400) are listed as the most likely destination if he were traded.
- The Boston Red Sox (+950), Philadelphia Phillies (+950) and Washington Nationals (+950) all listed as well.
CHICAGO – Kris Bryant is set to become a free agent at the end of this season and will therefore be a hot name when the trade deadline rolls around. Bryant is a former MVP, three-time all-star, and World Series champion who has spent his entire 7-year career with the Chicago Cubs.
Bryant is hitting .308 this year with nine home runs and 22 RBIs.
Will Bryant Remain With The Cubs?
If it were Kris Bryant’s choice, he would probably be elsewhere. He reportedly declined a huge contract worth over $200 million from the Cubs a couple of years back. His name has been circulating on the trade market ever since, but the Cubs seem inclined to keep him.
Online sportsbooks suggest the most likely situation is that he stays with the Cubs, but it’s not as overwhelming as one might think.
Where Will Kris Bryant Play After The 2021 MLB Trade Deadline Betting Odds
- Chicago Cubs -170
- Chicago White Sox +400
- Boston Red Sox +950
- Philadelphia Phillies +950
- Washington Nationals +950
- Atlanta Braves +1200
- New York Mets +1200
- Toronto Blue Jays +1200
- San Francisco Giants +1500
Could He Be Headed To The White Sox?
The Chicago White Sox are listed as the most likely option if he were to be traded, but looking at the White Sox roster it doesn’t make much sense. The White Sox have Yoan Moncada playing third base who is one of the youngest stars in baseball and Yermin Mercedes as their DH who is leading the league in batting average with .382 this season.

That being said, the opportunity to get a player like Bryant could be too good to pass on, but with one of the youngest cores in the MLB, why would the White Sox give up anything important when they could still sign him in free agency?
A Longshot With A Chance
Sports betting sites list the San Francisco Giants with the longest odds of the listed teams, but they might have the biggest need at the position. Many teams on this list have a young up-and-comer playing third base, but the Giants have Evan Longoria, a 35-year-old who’s past his prime.
San Francisco might not have the same pieces to trade to the Cubs, but have the biggest need for Bryant of any team on the list. The Giants also currently lead their division and have the second-best record in the MLB, meaning they could be looking to load up for a postseason run when the trade deadline comes.
