SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In their infinite wisdom, those knuckleheads in charge of the Rockies are paying $500,000 more for Nolan Arenado to play third base for St. Louis this season than the $5 million they’re spending on Ryan McMahon to man the hot corner in LoDo.
Makes you sunflower-seed-spitting mad, doesn’t it?
Yeah, I miss Arenado, too.
As McMahon unwrapped a package of fresh batting gloves in the Rockies clubhouse on Wednesday morning, I asked him: Does it ever enter your mind while standing at third base in Coors Field that you’re working the same hallowed patch of infield dirt where Arenado became a legend?
