With ongoing trade talks for Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story, we are left wondering the internal thoughts of Colorado staple Charlie Blackmon as he nears the waning seasons of his professional career. If the core of the team is disassembled, will Blackmon ever get another shot with the Rockies in the postseason?
This isn’t to say the 34-year-old wants out of Denver (nor is it meant to argue ‘against’ a rebuild), but Blackmon’s morale is stuck in a top-heavy division with five postseason games to his name. The word ‘rebuild’ can’t be comforting to the beloved outfielder after investing so much time in the ups and downs of a decade-plus roller coaster.
