The sought-after free agent agreed to a deal with the Rockies for seven years, worth $182 million. Known for his playing time as a member of the Chicago Cubs, Bryant was a trade deadline acquisition for the San Francisco Giants, appearing in 51 games. Bryant slashed .262/.344/444 with seven home runs and 22 RBI and was an integral part of the Giants’ postseason run, appearing in five games, batting .471 with a .500 OBP.
Bryant is expected to play third base for the Rockies and should also see playing time in left field, which should upgrade the Rockies’ offense.
Posting a 74- 87 record last season, the Rockies were fourth place in the National League West, with only a better record than the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Colorado is +20000 to win the World Series this season on FanDuel Sportsbook and kick off their 2022 season at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
