Quick review of the last year for the Rockies in case you forgot or didn't notice:Originally Posted by gut
- Traded franchise player Nolan Arenado to STL, and sent $50 million in cash as well. You would think by covering that amount of his contract that they essentially bought a sweet prospect return, right? NOPE. A MLB back-end starter, and 4 marginal prospects, the best being fucking Benji Gil's son, who was a third rounder.
- GM, and some others in the front office quit. Monfort names a quasi-interim GM, but much confusion. Reports come out that other teams had no clue how to even get ahold of who was running the Rockies front office.
- During another lost season, they have two very good players in Story and Gray on final years of their deals. They could each bring solid trade returns. They trade neither. Rumors that they weren't even actively trying to trade them. Story already said he wasn't signing an extension.
- They QO Story, but mysteriously don't do it to Gray, who quickly signs a nice deal with Texas. Rockies literally get nothing in return for losing Gray, who would have turned down the QO anyway.
Really just baffling shit. I legit think that the core of PFA baseball followers could run that team better.
