Dominikk85 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think they deserve their own thread, they start to approach Mets "lol-ness". After not trading story and gray because they preferred getting a comp pick (which is stupid because the return for a top rental is at least twice the value of a comp pick - which is about a 45fv prospect). For Story they did that which is bad enough but it gets even worse, after reportedly failing to sign gray to a multi year deal they decided to not offer gray the QO which means they don't receive a prospect at all. That is an Amazing level of incompetence and not a Good way to achieve competitiveness in that tough division anytime soon. Interestingly the rockies still were top10 in attendance in the majors, it seems that for the rockies owner sucess doesn't matter much for his financial well Being which might explain the lack of urgency. If I was a rockies fan I would be super pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 And, yet, they boxed themselves into a corner by letting Charlie Blackmon sign an option for $21 Million for 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 They didn't let him sign it, they gave him a player option when they extended him in 2018 that Blackmon exercised now. Still a bad contract albeit the rockies owner probably doesn't care, as long they are around 500, they are selling tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
