If Rockies’ Trevor Story is traded, Brendan Rodgers confident in his skills at shortstop

All signs point to Rockies all-star shortstop Trevor Story leaving Colorado, either via a trade in July or as a free agent after the season.

“I do feel a lot more comfortable and confident in the box and on the field,” Rodgers, 24, said Thursday before the Rockies played the Marlins at Miami. “That’s not to say I wasn’t confident (before), but I’ve really concentrated on taking care of my body. It’s starting to pay off, especially after a tough hamstring injury.
