Hold on, let me readjust my projections ... nope, the Colorado Rockies still aren't the favorites to win the National League West.
It's been a wild, sometimes bumpy ride for Kris Bryant to free agency -- one that includes an MVP award and a World Series title in his sophomore season in 2016, a lost grievance against the Chicago Cubs for manipulating his service time, injuries along the way and a bounce-back season in 2021. I'm not sure he envisioned it would end up with him signing with the Rockies. But that's where he is going after sources told ESPN he inked a seven-year, $182 million contract -- the second biggest in Rockies history, behind Nolan Arenado's deal, and easily the biggest they've handed out to a free agent, surpassing the $121 million they signed Mike Hampton for back in 2001.
