After 2020 was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic and with the 2022 season in jeopardy of starting on time due to the lockout, the Colorado Rockies baseball brought back some normalcy to the Front Range in 2021 and provided a service in which should all be somewhat thankful. Sure, that service meant coupling the ups with the downs, winning some…

There’s another intriguing group who could see time in the Bigs for 2022, including one who could get 400 at-bats. Our guest helps us name every single Opening Day…
Colorado could trade from depth in their outfield to improve their bullpen or bolster their farm system. And their shortstop situation would become trickier if the Houston Astros and New York Yankees combine to sign Carlos Correa and Trevor Story. At least it won’t be too bad if the San Diego Padres continue to take steps backwards. Kevin Henry from…

GM Bill Schmidt does it again, locking up Elias Díaz to a three-year, $14.5 million contract that keeps the 31-year-old catcher in purple pinstripes through the 2024 season. Rumblings of Ryan McMahon at shortstop are intriguing, as are possibilities of Brendan Rodgers moving back to his natural position. One thing is for sure: there cannot be a platoon at this…
Does Ryan McMahon make sense as a shortstop option for 2022? Is there another internal candidate that could fill the void left by Trevor Story?
