TRADE 1: Colorado Rockies trade LHP Jorge De La Rosa to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for C Chase Vellot
De La Rosa has been with the Rockies for so long, it’s easy to forget that he was once a part of the Kansas City Royals starting rotation. After all, when Colorado acquired the left-hander, Carlos Gonzalez was still a prospect in the Arizona Diamondbacks system and Nolan Arenado was a sophomore at El Toro High School.
All De La Rosa has done since is become the most successful pitcher in team history.
