“Is it safe to say Kris Bryant is one of the worst signings in Colorado sports history?”
DENVER, CO – APRIL 05: Colorado Rockies first baseman Kris Bryant during batting practice before the home opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on Friday, April 05, 2024.
There’s no way the Rockies can unload Bryant’s contract. If they were to trade him, they would have to eat a substantial amount of the money owed to Bryant. One of the other concerns facing the Rockies from now through 2028 is that Bryant is blocking the way for younger players. It will be interesting to see how the Rockies deal with the dilemma.
I have talked to dozens of players about the effects of playing baseball a mile above sea level. They all say a significant difference exists between playing in Colorado and at lower elevations. Pitcher Jeff Francis once told me that he felt like he was walking on a cloud when he got to San Diego or Los Angeles.“We have found that every starter who has pitched here for 185 to 200 innings for three consecutive years over the lifetime of this franchise has broken down with a significant injury.
I think it’s unfair to call him “a one-season wonder,” but Freeland has never come close to matching the terrific ’18 season. I have talked to a lot of people about Freeland, including Freeland himself, and these are my conclusions: • At various times, Freeland has struggled to command his changeup and slider, two pitches that need to be on point for him to succeed.
