As another Rockies losing season draws to a close, Kris Bryant remains a problem, not a solution. He’s intent on changing that.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant watch the game from the dugout during a game against the Boston Red Sox at Coors Field in Denver on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. As another losing season for the Rockies draws to a close, Kris Bryant remains a problem, not a solution. He’s intent on changing that.

Back issues and plantar fasciitis have kept Bryant off the field and in the training room. He played just 37 games this season, after 80 games last year and 42 in 2022, the first year of his seven-year, $182 million contract. “There is nobody who feels worse about this than me. There are a lot of nights when I’m upset, I’m depressed. I want to be out there with the guys. It sucks. I want to be on road trips, I want to play.”For Rockies fans and No. 19 himself, Charlie Blackmon’s “Your Love” walk-up song became an indefatigable Coors Field anthemBryant said he doesn’t listen to critics who bash him and rake the Rockies for signing him to such a massive contract. But he gets where they’re coming from.

In response to his critics, Bryant said: “People who have those thoughts and say those things, I get it, man. I feel just as bad. This is not how I want this to go down. I’ve never been complacent with anything in my life. I am trying to be the best I can be.”“It got to the point that I was struggling just getting out of bed in the morning and I’d take a shower and think, ‘How can I play a game at 6:40 tonight?’ ” he said. “It was disheartening.

But, realistically, can Bryant ever become the offensive force the Rockies hoped they were getting when they signed him in 2022?Many Rockies players have undergone back surgery, including Hall of Famer Todd Helton, who had three of them in his 17-year career. Bryant hopes he can avoid going under the knife.
