The answer to both questions is, “It’s possible.” However, with the Colorado Rockies recently signing Daniel Murphy to a two-year deal, it’s also possible that the Murphy move may shift Ian Desmond to the outfield, giving Colorado a Charlie Blackmon–David Dahl-Desmond outfield on Opening Day. Raimel Tapia, Noel Cuevas and even Garrett Hampson could also see time in the outfield in that scenario.
But what about another scenario where the Rockies make a trade for a power-hitting right-handed corner outfielder? That is a thought thrown out by MLBTradeRumors.
