For the last three seasons, Colorado Rockies fans have been clamoring for the team to do two things: Be active in acquiring players and letting the kids play.
This year, the Rockies have definitely been promoting prospects. (Whether they receive adequate playing time is a separate question.) So far in 2024, they have debuted 11 rookies — that’s second only to the 12 prospects that debuted in 2016. On the trade front, they have been less active though this year at the deadline, they did send reliever Nick Mears to the Milwaukee Brewers for pitchers Yujanyer Herrera and Bradley Blalock.
