Kris Bryant's seven-year, $182 million deal with the Colorado Rockies was one of the most perplexing free agent contracts of last year's offseason. One year in, it's now one looking like one of the worst.
that he will not return this season due to a nagging case of plantar fasciitis and a bone bruise in his right foot. The development means Bryant will have played a total of 42 games in his first year with the Rockies.
The last time Bryant played in a game was July 31, when he aggravated the foot injury. Since then, he has undergone a platelet-rich plasma injection in the foot, a procedure with a longer recovery time than a cortisone shot. "The goal was to end the year with striders, at about 30% with the movement — and I'm ahead of that, which is good," Bryant said."I wanted to get as close to being able to play a game as I could, because then I can formulate an offseason approach that's better.
All of that is obviously not what the Rockies had in mind when they signed Bryant, but then again, it's sometimes hard to know what's on the Rockies' mind. After all, the team signed Bryant, one of the highest-priced players on a stacked free agent market last year, despite being nowhere close to real contention.
