Kyle Freeland met with the media for the first time Wednesday since signing a long-term contract extension with the Rockies.
Freeland’s message to fans?
“Be very excited about the future,” he said.
Freeland’s new five-year, $64.5-million deal will keep him in Colorado through the 2026 season. It continues a storybook baseball journey for the Denver native and Thomas Jefferson High School graduate.
“You can’t script it any better than this,” he said.
Freeland contemplated a future playing elsewhere. But he reconsidered after a recent discussion with his wife, Ashley, on a FaceTime call.
