BALTIMORE — Charlie Blackmon played his 1,470th game for the Rockies Friday night. He’s hoping for a lot more.
Blackmon, 37, is in the final five weeks of the six-year, $108 million contract he signed in 2018. But he’s hoping to return to the Rockies on a new deal next season, which would be his 14th with the only major-league club he’s ever known.
“There is definitely a possibility I’ll come back,” Blackmon said before starting in right field against the Orioles. “I’m not saying officially, either way, but I still feel like I’m going to be an effective player.
