The Rockies have reportedly agreed to a seven-year, $182 million deal with former National League MVP Kris Bryant, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. MLB Network's Jon Heyman was the first to report Bryant's destination.

Bryant had spent his entire career with the Cubs before a midseason trade sent him to the Giants last year. Over 144 games in 2021, Bryant hit .265/.353/.481 with 25 home runs and 10 stolen bases, seeing time at third base and in the outfield.
Bryant has been a consistent hitter throughout his career, posting an OPS+ over 120 in six of his seven seasons. The only year in which he fell below that mark was the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign when injuries limited him to just 34 games.
The Rockies can count on Bryant
Bryant's legacy
Bryant's game has evolved quite a bit since then, going from a near-everyday third baseman to a full-on super utility man. He saw action at six different positions over the course of 2021: all three outfield positions and every infield position except second base.
