Ben Paulsen and Rafael Ynoa were designated for assignment on Tuesday, making way for Pat Valaika and Jordan Patterson to join the team. A new wave of Rockies proved their worth. An older duo was sent packing. It’s a harsh reality … but Major League Baseball is a business.
I know many of you out there shrugged at the news of Paulsen and Ynoa leaving the Rockies. Some of you may have even celebrated or thought the team immediately got better. Statistically, it’s very possible. However, I must admit I hated to hear the news of Paulsen being DFA’d.
