Report: Giants show interest in Kris Bryant as Cubs evaluate touted prospect Joey Bart

(AUDACY) The trade rumors surrounding Cubs star infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant continue to heat up as the deadline looms Friday afternoon.

After news emerged early Tuesday that the Rays have inquired about Bryant, another suitor came to the forefront in the evening. San Francisco has spoken with Chicago about Bryant, while the Cubs are evaluating Giants catching prospect Joey Bart as a candidate to be requested in a possible trade, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

Bart, 24, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 amateur draft and is hitting .310 with a .904 OPS in Triple-A this season. Bart is ranked as the No. 17 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. Because of his talents, Bart would likely only be included in a trade that involves other Cubs players in addition to Bryant, Morosi said.

The 2016 National League MVP, Bryant is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and would be a rental for any team looking to add him. He entered Tuesday slashing .269/.356/.500 with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs.
