So let me see if I understand this. If they call up Bryant now, it will count as a season played, resulting in his contract being up a year early?

---

Yes. And then there is super 2 for arbitration purposes which is likely why he won't break camp with the cubs next year either.

nd why is Baez & Soler different?

---

Baez isn't, except that he's not a Boars client so it's quite possible he'd sign an extension/contract (think longoria here)

Soler was an international signing, so he's already under a defined year contract for a set price so he doesn't have any service time things that would start/stall his clock.

I always just assumed when you were ready, it's go time

If a team is good/in a race typically that's the case. but when playing in a lost season having an extra year of control over a player means more if the window of competitiveness is opening later.
