A whirlwind of events Monday night has left many Colorado Rockies fans out for blood. After the announcement by GM Jeff Bridich that Nolan Arenado would not be traded before the season, Arenado started a huge firestorm by stating that he feels “a lot of disrespect from people there.” This revelation has fans wanting Bridich’s job with #FireBridich trending on Twitter.
It is easy to see why Arenado feels disrespected. Eleven months after signing an eight-year, $260 million contract, Arenado has seen Bridich shop his name in countless number of trade rumors, spent zero money this offseason (besides some minor league deals) to try improve a roster that only won 71 games in 2019, and bickered with Trevor Story over a mere $750,000 in arbitration negotiations.
