Earlier today, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post confirmed in a tweet that the Colorado Rockies do indeed have an interest in potentially acquiring Edwin Encarnacion from the Cleveland Indians or Carlos Santana from the Seattle Mariners. This narrows down a list of potential first basemen that was discussed yesterday by Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
Another report says that the Rockies are one of three teams vying for Santana’s services, along with the Cleveland Indians and Tampa Bay Rays. Yes, you read that correctly … Cleveland may be trying to acquire Santana while attempting to trade Encarnacion.
