I’m a big fan of one-for-one trades in baseball, specifically when they are centered around prospects or pre-arbitration eligible players. Generally these deals are based around teams working with each other to improve areas of their organization together. Like any trade, time tells who may get the better end of the swap but, overall, these trades seem to make a lot of sense on paper at the time.
The Colorado Rockies’ need is very apparent. Pitching. It’s always pitching.
The team could – and probably will – look to address its paper-thin rotation through minor acquisitions in the off-season.
