The move by the Rockies to sign Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million deal makes no sense; it’s an unnecessarily large contract when competing against no other teams. The Rockies aren’t in a win-now window. It appears this was a move to pretend they care and sell tickets. Hopefully, Rockies fans have evolved enough not to fall for such a charade.
P.L., Denver
Kiz: Why so cynical? Bryant could well be the most potent bat in Colorado’s lineup. The staff here at Kickin’ Headquarters figures that means he could maybe hit sixth or seventh in the batting order for the Dodgers.
