I’m trying to move past my kneejerk reaction to the Rockies’ decision to do next to nothing during baseball’s otherwise frenzied week of trading. I’m going to try and put things into perspective.
* Make no mistake about it, Trevor Story is angry that he didn’t get traded. Story is the ultimate good soldier and team player, so when he said, “I’m confused and I don’t have really anything good to say about the situation and how it unfolded,” that was a red flag about the state of the organization.
* Interim general manager Bill Schmidt insisted that he kept Story in the loop, telling the shortstop all along there was a chance that he would still be with the Rockies the rest of the season.
