The gigantic controversy between the team GM and Colorado Rockies star third baseman Nolan Arenado exploded this week and it is clear who the fans have sided with. It wasn’t a difficult decision considering they are choosing between the greatest player to ever play in a Rockies’ uniform (sorry, Todd Helton), and a GM who has made some highly questionable decisions over the years.
Even though I am firmly in Arenado’s corner, I thought I’d put my pitchfork down and take a step back for a moment. What if some of the blame for this rift should be placed on Arenado’s shoulders?
