This year’s Trade Deadline left Rockies fans understandably underwhelmed and disappointed. The Rockies held on to their valuable trade chips Trevor Story and Jon Gray. While the Rockies are making a push to sign Gray to an extension and have some distant hope they can somehow convince Story to stay, the status of C.J. Cron had been lost in the topic of conversation.
Cron has had a solid season with the Rockies and some assumed, myself included, that he would be a good piece to trade at the end of July and get a prospect or two. However, when the dust settled, Cron was still in purple and just doing his thing.
