“Needless to say, this season hasn’t met our expectations. But at the same point, a lot of good things happen that don’t show up every day.' -- Rockies GM Bill Schmidt as his team eyes a fourth straight losing season via PSaundersDP
Bill Schmidt’s first full season as the Rockies’ general manager was highlighted by the signing of outfielder Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million contract and the hope that the club would be, if not a playoff team, then at least in the hunt.
“Needless to say, this season hasn’t met our expectations,” Schmidt said Saturday as he met with media prior to the penultimate home game of the season. “But at the same point, a lot of good things happen that don’t show up every day. And I say that in terms of our minor leagues and some of the foundational pieces that we are going to need going forward.”
“Their backing is not lost on our staff or the players,” Schmidt said. “We don’t take that for granted and we truly appreciate everything they do for us.”— When making such a huge investment in Bryant, were there concerns about the consequences if he didn’t produce?
