In the words of Tom Petty, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
As a non-playoff contender, as the Rockies are, the trade deadline can be a stress-inducing period of losing stars and favorite players, but at least it comes with the hope of building towards a better future.
We only have until 2 p.m. MT on Friday before the wait will be over, but it’s not the trade deadline wait that I am worried about. It’s the waiting for this organization to build a front office with baseball knowledge and a plan to win that I’m worried about.
