Third baseman Kris Bryant and the Colorado Rockies are in agreement on a seven-year, $182 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Bryant is headed to his third team in eight months after spending his first six major league seasons with the Chicago Cubs, who traded him to the San Francisco Giants last July.
Acquiring Bryant for even 1 year would’ve put the Mets over the top and I really thought Steve Cohen would pull it off. But 7 years for a guy who be past his prime was clearly asking for too much.
