In the middle of the first inning of tonight’s game between the Minnesota Twins and the Colorado Rockies, it was announced that the Rockies and veteran outfielder Charlie Blackmon have arrived at a one-year extension.
The specifics of the contract are not yet known though in 2018, Blackmon signed a five-year, $94 million extension.
The move is unsurprising giving recent hints by both sides that they felt another year would benefit both parties.
Although in recent years, Blackmon has not been as effective as he was during his peak 2016-2017 seasons, he remains a consistently above-replacement-level player.
