It’s no secret that the Colorado Rockies signing of veteran Kris Bryant to a seven year, $182 million contract before the 2022 season has been an absolute flop so far.
Bryant’s lengthy and expensive contract includes a full no-trade clause and has felt more and more like like a weight on the Rockies’ shoulders after two seasons. The former MVP and World Series champion of the Chicago Cubs has logged only 122 games with his new team over the first two seasons of his deal. He has spent extensive time on the injured list with a variety of ailments from back issues and plantar fasciitis to a finger fracture after getting hit by a pitch three times in just one series.
