This week, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced that for the first time since 1994, the league is canceling games due to a work stoppage. Today, we're joined by The Athletic's Nick Groke — who covers the Colorado Rockies — to look at why that team's owner, Dick Monfort, has emerged as a key figure in the failed negotiations. And, with both sides currently at an impasse, exactly how long could this lockout last?

We jump into the SS tiers for the upcoming free-agent class and Corey Seager is the #1 tier. Below him are Trevor Story and Carlos Correa. 3rd tier is Javy Baez of the Cubs.

Just three seasons ago, the Colorado Rockies won 91 games and reached the postseason. Now, in 2021, they are considered by many to be the worst team in baseball. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Nick Groke to look at the series of missteps that took the Rockies from contender to punchline, and how they went from one of the proudest days in their history — the signing of Nolan Arenado to a massive contract extension in 2019 — to a dramatic falling out between Arenado and the front office less than a year later. Read Nick Groke and Ken Rosenthal’s story about the Rockies-Nolan Arenado saga: https://theathletic.com/2467223/2021/03/22/communication-failures-poor-decisions-and-messy-breakups-how-it-all-went-wrong-for-the-colorado-rockies/?source=theleadpodcast
0:00 More on what the Broncos could do to make another splash towards the end of free agency. 10:31 Will there actually be a QB frenzy in the 2021 Draft? 19:36 Players that would be worth trading into the top-ten of the draft that are not QBs. 27:33 Nick Groke of The Athletic joins K&L to discuss the recent article he wrote alongside Ken Rosenthal, updates on Kyle Freeland, Trevor Story trade rumors, aftershocks of the Arenado trade, and more.
We respond to the recent Athletic report by Nick Groke and Ken Rosenthal. The report highlights the fact that full-time front-office staffers were forced to work as "clubbies", players begged Bridich to bring back DJ LeMahieu, and players felt abandoned when their first ever divisional championship was within reach. As fans we knew it was bad, but now we have the tangible evidence. The Rockies aren't just a poorly run baseball team, they are a poorly run business. On a lighter note, we had the pleasure of chatting with Albuquerque Isotopes General Manager John Traub. John shares great insight into the minor league game including what exactly a minor league GM does and how he sees baseball at altitude. Check out www.blakestreetbanter.com for more content!
