Rockies' Charlie Blackmon on sticking it out in Colorado: "Never tell me the odds"

Charlie Blackmon made his Rockies debut on June 7, 2011. He's been to the playoffs twice in 2017 and 2018, but has only been there once before. BlackMon has watched some of his closest friends leave Colorado for greener baseball pastures.

Blackmon signed a six-year, $108 million contract extension that takes him through the 2023 season. He has a $10 million player option next season that could be worth as much as $18 million if he meets contract escalators. The Rockies are mired in a fourth consecutive losing season and are in last place in the National League West with a 45-55 record. Blackmon wants to play for the Rockies next year. He can veto any trade proposal. General manager Bill Schmidt says the team has received no inquiries about Black monke. This season he's slashing .274/.325/.478 with 16 home runs and 59 RBIs.

Troy Tulowitzki, Dante Bichette, Matt Holliday, Carlos González, Vinny Castilla, Andres Galarraga and Trevor Story are the players who are up for debate. Charlie Blackmon is climbing the Rockies' all-time statistical charts. He entered the weekend with the most triples in franchise history (56), second in games played (1,358), career hits ( 1,548) and stolen bases (136).

Charlie Blackmon is on a run of good form for the Colorado Rockies.
