The Colorado Rockies hit the table ahead of the start of the 2022 major league season, signing Kris Bryant on a seven-year, $182 million contract, according to mLB Network.

After being in the crosshairs of the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, Bryant remains in the National League West Division, on this occasion as one of the figures of a Colorado team that has a record of 74 wins and 87 losses.

In addition to the impressive presence that the 2015 National League MVP brings to any lineup, he adds his third baseman or outfielder great skills.

One of those surprised by this move is Nolan Arenado, who would not have looked favorably on this multimillion-dollar signing of the Rockies, due to the fact that it happens just a year later that they let him go via change to the St. Louis Cardinals.

In this way, Bryant will form a luxurious duo with Charlie Blackmon in the offense of a Denver team that again looks with little chance of fighting with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the pennant of the West of the National League.

Kris Bryant has been one of the best right-handed hitters in major league baseball in the last years, and last season he was part of the inspired San Francisco Giants who lost in five games in the 2021 Divisional Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 30-year-old has a .278 average and a .376 OBP with 167 home runs and 487 RBIs.

We are talking about a player who is not going through his best moment, but he can still be a key piece in any MLB organization.
