Colorado Rockies: Cy Young and MVP odds include Trevor Story, German Marquez

While the Colorado Rockies may not be expected to do much in the standings during the 2021 season, we saw some interesting odds regarding individual players and their potential chase of a Most Valuable Player or Cy Young award.

So which Colorado Rockies players are being mentioned as possibilities for MVP or Cy Young honors?

According to BetOnline.ag, Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is currently a 25-to-1 longshot to win National League MVP honors. Charlie Blackmon, meanwhile, sits at 50-to-1 for the same honor.

Of course, one of the biggest storylines for the Rockies entering the season is just how long Story will be a part of the franchise. Could Colorado trade him before the deadline? So far, a contract extension for Story hasn’t been discussed.

As a note, four of the five tops contenders within the NL MVP race have ties to the Rockies. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is the current favorite for the honor at 13-to-2 while teammate Cody Bellinger is right behind at 15-to-2, tied for second with Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals.
