There are four jerseys hanging in my closet — not my chest of drawers. Gerrit Cole, Aaron Judge, Mike Trout ... names that need no explanation. The fourth is a purple Trevor Story jersey, because I unabashedly love Trevor Story. There are few players in baseball that match his mix of power, speed and grace, and the ones that do — Trea Turner, Ronald Acuña Jr., Fernando Tatis Jr. — aren’t going to be traded to the Yankees any time soon.
But Trevor Story will almost certainly be traded by the deadline. Colorado is in a terrible place for a franchise, without much talent at the major league level, and a mediocre at best farm system.
