Colorado Rockies GM Jeff Bridich On Nolan Arenado Feud: 'No Comment'
(CBS4) - While pitchers and catchers reported to spring training on Tuesday for the Colorado Rockies, general manager Jeff Bridich offered no comment on his recent and very public feud with star third baseman Nolan Arenado.
"There's no comment. I haven't had any comment to this point, so we'll move past that. Thanks. Next question," said Bridich.
I can think of 1,000,000 different ways Jeff Bridich could have handled this better.

In January, after weeks of trade rumors, Bridich told the Denver Post that Arenado would not be traded.
Arenado then responded via Thomas Harding of MLB.com alleging disrespect from the Rockies organization.
Arenado later clarified his statements and said that he would not be discussing the situation further.
