Will Brendan Rodgers make his mark in 2021?
Just about 36 hours before the Arenado trade was announced, I wrote a piece on the Rockies players with the most riding on the 2021 season. Brendan Rodgers featured on that list prior to Arenado’s departure, and now, with an opening in the infield, the opportunity is there for Rodgers to take it and run.
But don’t just take my word for it. In December, Bud Black appeared on MLB Network Radio and had the following to say about the former number three overall pick: “What does Brendan have to prove in the minors? Not a lot. He’s hit in the minors. Now he just has to hit in the big leagues, and we’ve got to give him that opportunity.”
