Nolan Arenado ostensibly placed himself on the trade block not long after signing an eight-year, $260M extension with the Rockies a couple years ago, when his promised-vision for the future of the team didn’t line up with the actions of the franchise off the field/in the market (basically, they didn’t spend as much/try as hard to compete as they told him they would). And so the Rockies have been trying to move a (justifiably) disgruntled Arenado to make him happy … but also so that they c...

Is an Arenado-to-St. Louis trade in the works? Share this story According to Rosenthal, “No deal appears close, and the other players who might be involved are not known.” He notes that Arenado would likely waive his no-trade clause and perhaps decline his opt-out after the 2021 season. Currently, the Rockies owe Arenado $199 million over the next six seasons. Rosenthal also reported that the Braves have inquired about an Arenado trade, but nothing appears to be happening on that front. I...

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (Photo by Matt Hennie) Jerusalem House — the city’s largest housing provider for low-income people with HIV — was late paying January rent for over 400 of its clients because the City of Atlanta was months behind on reimbursing the non-profit. It’s the latest chapter in the city’s years-long struggle to clean up its dysfunctional Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA) program. An inefficient process sometimes requiring 3,000 pages of docu...

Eagle owner Richard Ramey The effort to protect the 122-year-old building that once housed the Atlanta Eagle stalled on Wednesday, delaying discussion of designating it as a historic landmark for at least two weeks.  The Atlanta Urban Design Commission pressed pause after the building’s owner asked for more time to review the city’s application for landmark status. The city – and Historic Atlanta – wants to designate two buildings – 306 Ponce de Leon Avenue, which housed the Eagle un...

While many things in life change constantly, there were some things I believed to be unalterable — before 2020 that is. Attending baseball games at Coors Field, going to concerts, and eating at restaurants were just three things on that list. 2020 changed that and everything. Even as we bid 2020 farewell, or perhaps more fittingly kick it out the door and hope it falls down the stairs on the way out, 2021 offers hope of an eventual return to some kind of new normal, but also more uncertainty ...

The pathway to compete for the NL West title is getting more difficult by the hour. The World Series champion Dodgers and the up-and-coming Padres are both the clear front runners for 2021 and the foreseeable future. Rockies fans are understandably frustrated with the team’s current position in the division. If you look at any of our comment sections or just search “Rockies” on Twitter, you’ll find passionate fans desperately crying for help… and cool photos of mountains. If you’re ...

Nolan Arenado AND Trevor Story to the Dodgers? Inconceivable, right? That’s the trade idea that The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal threw out Sunday morning. The idea wasn’t based on any report or coming from any league source, instead Rosenthal came up with the trade idea to torture Rockies fans. I’m partly joking of course, the real reason Rosenthal brings up such a scenario is to make a point about the creativeness that teams have when they want a star player. I found this idea interestin...
