Line 10:
[[Kris Bryant]], prior to the [[2015 Chicago Cubs season]], was assigned to the Cubs' [[Triple-A (baseball)|AAA]] affiliate to work on his defense, despite putting up impressive offensive numbers in the minor leagues. Seven games into the major league season, the Cubs promoted Bryant, who remained on the roster for the remaining 171 days of the season. This made Bryant ineligible to earn a year of service time.<ref name="cbssports-2021-03" /> Bryant filed a grievance against the Cubs, but an arbitrator ruled that the [[Major League Baseball Players Association]] (MLBPA) did not prove that the Cubs manipulated Bryant's service time.<ref name="ap-2020-02">{{cite news |last1=Blum |first1=Ronald |title=Arbitrator rules union didn't prove Bryant case vs Cubs |url=https://apnews.com/article/mlb-baseball-free-agency-sports-general-kris-bryant-6c03d827f90dbd48fc336e7f4f4eccbd?utm_medium=AP_Sports&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow |access-date=May 11, 2022 |work=Associated Press |date=February 4, 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
