Iowa Cubs general manager Sam Bernabe doubts fans in Des Moines will see star prospect Kris Bryant play. Bryant won’t be eligible for free agency until after the 2021 season if the parent Chicago Cubs wait until Friday to call him up. The I Cubs home opener is Friday night against Oklahoma City.

Bernabe says if fans in Des Moines get a chance to see Bryant play it most likely will only be for a day or two. The I-Cubs are 3-3 on the season after Wednesday’s 3-2 loss in ten innings at New Orleans.
