I can't figure out why the Rockies kept Story. There's zero chance of him to resign with Colorado. So they throw a qualifying offer at him that his agent will get a belly laugh over and he will go elsewhere and the Rox will get a compensatory pick at the end of the '22 1st round. Whee. There's been some decent picks in that area, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jack Flaherty but a lot more misses.
Not that the Rockies are going anywhere. There's going to be a lot of lousy teams next year. Cubs, Nats, Twins, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Orioles (sorry Nut, couple more years), Rangers, Pirates.
Story isn't having a great year, so maybe the market was too low or non-existent. Teams scared away, thinking he's hiding an injury. You didn't hear a lot of rumors. Why they didn't trade him in the offseason like Arenado is beyond me. It was a sellers market but a team never gets what it should in July as opposed to the offseason
