Well. it happened.
For many Rockies fans, Jeff Bridich stepping down from his general manager position is a breath of fresh air the dawning of a new age, so to speak.

that trade. let’s remember the career of the most memorable GM in recent history.

Bridich began his
career with the Rockies in 2004, as the manager of minor league operations. That move was a no-brainer for the Rockies, as Bridich had been working in the MLB commissioner’s office assisting major league teams with minor league signings and transactions.
