'KB' is no longer a Cub.

The Chicago Cubs have traded Kris Bryant to the San Francisco Giants minutes before the end of Friday's trade deadline.

The Cubs received outfielder Alexander Canario (#9 Giants prospect) and righty Caleb Killian (#30 Giants prospect) in return for the former MVP.

The deal is pending a physical.

Bryant hit .267 with 18 homers and 51 RBIs in 93 games this season. He is very versatile and played over six positions this season.

Bryant's trade is part of an end of an era as Anthony Rizzo and Javy Baez were also traded in the last 24 hours.

"I’ve had some of the best memories here and the best times of my life," Bryant said recently.

From draft pick, to ROY, to MVP, to World Series Champion.
