Rockies Mailbag: Should Kris Bryant be playing third base for Colorado?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:58 GMT

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.Pose a Rockies — or MLB — related question for the Rockies Mailbag.Recently, your esteemed colleague, Kiz (columnist Mark Kiszla), suggested that the Rockies should move Kris Bryant to third base, a position in which he has a lot of experience and has been successful. Have the Rockies even considered this possibility? If not, why not? It seems to make sense since third base is still a question mark.— Tony, GreeleyTony, that’s a great question. From what I have been told, Bryant was not really interested in playing third base when he was looking for a team when he was a free agent. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t play there if needed. But, in my opinion, he would not have signed with Colorado if he was expected to be its starter at the hot corner.But there’s more to it than that. General manager Bill Schmidt has told me, more than once, that when the R...

Opinion: Uber’s challenge to California labor law is just the beginning

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:58 GMT

In a stunning decision Friday that departs from nearly 90 years of Supreme Court decisions, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed a constitutional challenge to Assembly Bill 5, the 2019 California law meant to protect low-wage workers.The ruling is especially shocking and troubling because in 2021 the same court rejected exactly the same challenge to the same law. The turnabout in Friday’s decision is likely to open the door to constitutional challenges to countless state business regulations.The case, Olson v. State of California, was brought by Uber and Postmates to challenge AB 5’s requirements that drivers for those companies be treated not as independent contractors, but as employees subject to the protections of minimum wage, overtime, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and anti-discrimination laws.In a 2018 case involving truck drivers, the California Supreme Court adopted a three-part test for determining the status of a worker for purposes of state wa...
