Huge implications if Bryant wins his case, though there's no reason to think he will--the Cubs followed every jot and tittle of the CBA. Service time manipulation is squarely within the rules that the union agreed to.
If by some chance he won though, Bryant would become a FA after next season, instead of after 2021. That would significantly cut down the potential return he would bring in a trade (the receiving team would only get him for one season vice two). The Cubs might then view it as a better option to sign Bryant long-term and perhaps shop Baez instead (Baez has two years of control left no matter what).
