This offseason has been another quiet one for the Colorado Rockies, both in terms of personnel moves and communication with fans and media.

With that, there are plenty of questions about the Rockies as spring training draws ever closer. Taking a cue from some of the questions that fans have been asking us (and other members of the media) about the Rockies and where the franchise is heading, let’s look at three questions that fans would love to have some information about before the Rockies open the 2021 season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 1 at Coors Field (provided the schedule remains intact with COVID-19 still impacting our society).

The first question, of course, revolves around the future of Nolan Arenado in Denver. While we certainly don’t expect the Colorado front office to tip their hand about how much they’ve been discussing trades involving the All-Star third baseman, it would at least be nice to know just how icy or solid is the relationship between the front office and Arenado.

It’s been almost exactly one year since Arenado mentioned the word “disrespect” when it came to his relationship with the Rockies’ brass. Since then, we’ve heard very little about any efforts to mend the relationship … or if that’s even a priority.
