Oh, without a doubt.  Unless a player is playing like he did the 2nd half of 2019, I'm not buying any performances in 2020 as what to expect going forward.  

KB's nagging injuries year in and year out are coming a little tiresome though.  Kind of reminds me of David Wright in that regard.

Has he not said anything about wanting to return?

KB has said the usual "I want to play in Chicago forever,", or "I would rather stay here a long time", but that's mostly generic FA-to-be speak.  It's all about reading the room with ownership.  They are already crying poor and it's very unlikely they will make the funds available to sign him long term.  It's absolutely ridiculous.  Maybe not the passing on paying KB part, as he's been an enigma the past few years with injuries.  But the part about there not being enough money available to sign someone to a contract KB is going to be asking for.
