Bunny Slope Sports
Okay, full disclosure, I do not have 1000 reasons why the Rockies shouldn't trade Charlie Blackmon. If forced, I'm sure I could come up with them, but I write this blog for free and I don't have the time to take on that task. Moving on.. Folks in Denver need to pump the brakes on blowing this whole thing up. Yes, the Rockies are having a wildly disappointing season up to this point but that in no way means we need to go into a full blown rebuild. We can all recognize that spending on the bullpen 2 years ago has been nothing short of a complete and utter failure. And we can accept that letting the franchise's greatest 2nd baseman ever walk for nothing in free agency was a mistake. Lastly, losing Otto has noticeably hurt this team but I'm pretty that him signing with New York was much more an Otto decision than a Rockies one. But on the flip side, just because Freeland and Marquez are having "sophomore slumps" doesn't mean we won't see them return to their 2018 form. In fact, I would bet money that we will see them return to the level we saw last year. Don't forget this team is coming off of back-to-back postseason appearances for the first time in team history and were only one win away from winning their first division title. The core to be a contender is still there (Arenado, Story, Blackmon, Dahl, Freeland, Marquez and Gray). So it is incredibly frustrating to see people so quickly be willing to jump ship. This team has three seasons to prove to Nolan that they can compete long term and fans want to pull the plug in July of year 1? It's fucking unsalted nuts. Can we at least wait until Arenado officially opts out before we all completely lose our minds?
