On several occasions, the Rockies have been known to misjudge reality.
From Dick Monfort saying the 2023 Rockies could be a .500 team to giving Kris Bryant a 7-year, $182 million deal in 2022 to failing to re-sign DJ LeMahieu and inking Daniel Murphy for the same price the Yankees gave LeMahieu (two years for $24 million) in 2019, some of their words and actions truly are head-scratchers.
That’s why it can be sometimes tough to take projections and predictions from the front office very seriously. Montfort has become pretty infamous for his prognostications at the Northern Colorado Friends of Baseball Breakfast preceding each season.
