Trevor Story is officially no longer a member of the Colorado Rockies. After declining the $18.4 million qualifying offer last Tuesday, the six year chapter with Story as a stalwart at shortstop for the Rockies seems destined to close and the Rockies will need to figure out who will slot in his vacancy on the infield.
The Rockies know who that is in the long-run. Ezequiel Tovar, who was just added to the 40-man roster yesterday, excelled between two levels in 2021 and comes equipped with a stellar defensive profile to go with his budding offense.
