Why did Bridich leave in late April?

85 days since Nolan Arenado was traded to the Cardinals.

68 days since pitchers and catchers reported to spring training.

26 days since Opening Day.

One day since Jeff Bridich resigned as general manager of the Rockies.

Bridich’s resignation, less than a month into the 2021 season, is a signifying moment that enough was enough. Something boiled over so far that Bridich stepped away just 21 games into the 2021 season. His resignation ends 17 consecutive years of franchise loyalty in an immediate act of severed ties when he could have surely stepped aside last offseason.
