As many Colorado Rockies fans remember, the fan reactions on the return was mixed and many fans were upset over the value of what was returned from Cincinnati. The city of Denver and the Rocky Mountain Region was attached sentimentally to Bichette, and truly expressed their distaste for the lack of of value given in the player being dealt away. Bichette had made his mark on the city, the organization, and the league as an expansion member of the Colorado Rockies organization.
On November 17, 1992, Bichette was trade by the Milwaukee Brewers to the Colorado Rockies for Kevin Reimer, a left fielder and designated hitter who never really developed as a long-term Major League Baseball player.
