The ghost of Kris Bryant haunts the Rockies.
There have been only fleeting visions of the star player the franchise thought it signed back in 2022.
Reoccurring injuries bedevil the four-time All-Star. Sub-par performance has become the norm. There are those within the organization who call him an enigma.
Rockies fans, generally a benevolent bunch, even booed Bryant during the home opener at Coors Field.
