Former Cubs star Kris Bryant has agreed to a massive free agent deal with the Rockies.
"I honestly felt like this was the spot I was going to be," Bryant told Gordon Wittenmyer during a Cubs trip to Denver in 2018,"just because before the draft, everybody was talking and doing their research, and everybody was saying the Cubs are going to pick a pitcher because that's what they needed at the time.Bryant's new home ballpark is one of the most hitter-friendly in baseball.
"What a fun place it is to hit," Bryant added in his conversation to Wittenmyer."Big outfield and mile-high city. The ball carries." The Cubs honored Bryant when he returned for the first time as a visitor after the trade with the Giants last September."I played in Denver quite a bit in scout ball," Bryant told Wittenmyer."Anytime I came here, I performed pretty well. This is probably one of my favorite cities to visit.We'll certainly see a lot of those the next seven seasons.
