Will first baseman C.J. Cron return to the Rockies in 2022?
That topic was lost in the shuffle of Friday’s trade deadline-palooza that saw shortstop Trevor Story and right-hander Jon Gray stick with the club.
Both Story and Gray are scheduled to become free agents after this season, but so is Cron, who was not traded on Friday either. Interim general manager Bill Schmidt did not weigh in on Cron’s future Friday, but manager Bud Black has some thoughts on the matter.
“We are going to explore it and talk to C.J. about his interest in coming back,” Black said Saturday.
