It’s been a far more interesting free agency period than Colorado Rockies fans are used to, as new general manager Bill Schmidt works at filling holes and making improvements on the roster. Since taking the reigns following the 2021 season, Schmidt has made a bevy of moves to make his mark.
Before the lockout, Schmidt signed starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela, first baseman CJ Cron, and catcher Elias Díaz to healthy extensions. While Senzatela is now locked down as a key member of the rotation, Cron and Díaz are here to stay until promising prospects like Michael Toglia and Drew Romo are ready for their big league debuts.
