Charlie Blackmon: “Definitely possible I’ll play for Rockies next season”

Charlie Blackmon played his 1,470th game for the Rockies Friday night. He’s hoping for a lot more.

Blackmon, 37, is in the final five weeks of the six-year, $108 million contract he signed in 2018. But he’s hoping to return to the Rockies on a new deal next season, which would be his 14th with the only major-league club he’s ever known.

Asked if he would consider playing for another team, Blackmon said, “Yeah, but Colorado is certainly my first choice. But I don’t want to think that far ahead. Right now, I’m not thinking about any other options.” “Yes, we are, if things work out,” Schmidt said. “Charlie would provide a good leadership structure for our young guys. And he can still play.”

Blackmon entered Friday’s game slashing .280/.367/.461 with seven home runs, four triples and 15 doubles over 65 games. He missed 53 games from June 10 through July 14 because of a fractured right hand. Since returning, he’s hit safely in eight of his nine games, going 12 for 32 with one double, two triples, two home runs and a 1.236 OPS.
