Today, a new season and a new era begin for the Colorado Rockies.
After three seasons of more and more minuses, there are finally additions. For three straight years, Rockies fans had seen All-Stars depart and losses mount. Finally, this offseason, the Rockies signed free agents and traded to add power as Bill Schmidt transformed from long-time scout to general manager.
This opening day brings with it a renewed sense of hope for the 2022 MLB season. It won’t bring with it the World Series that Dick Monfort spoke of during Kris Bryant’s press conference, but there are some new elements that will make this opening home series more interesting and, hopefully, make the season more fun.
