As the MLB trade deadline approaches next week, the Rockies will certainly be sellers as they look to continue to restock their farm system with starting pitching prospects.
General manager Bill Schmidt’s already made two trades for minor league starters, sending infielder Mike Moustakas to the Angles for one and dealing right-hander Pierce Johnson to the Braves for two more earlier this week.
Now, as the Rockies head into a six-game homestand that ends a day after the Aug. 1 deadline, Schmidt has an array of veterans to offer in hopes of further strengthening the franchise’s farm system.
