With Major League Baseball’s General Manager meetings going virtual, what could be on the menu for Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich?

As with everything else it seems in 2020, the first set of meetings for MLB’s general managers, set to begin yesterday, has gone virtual. Following that was the announcement that the annual Winter Meetings would be held virtually as well. That means any work done by Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich and his staff won’t be done in a hotel suite or any other off-site location this year as opposed to years past. Like many of us, the world of baseball has suddenly become Zoom-centered.

And yes, Zoom or not, there is work for the Rockies to do this offseason. That not only includes upgrading a roster that was recently ranked dead last in MLB but also see what kind of discussions can be started and continued in terms of trades.

So what could happen at the virtual GM meetings? Here are some thoughts.
