According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today on MLB Network (h/t Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post on Twitter), the Colorado Rockies made a very good offer to 2017 Rockies closer Greg Holland for the future. In fact, it was the same contract that Wade Davis and the Rockies ultimately agreed upon.
Just heard @BNightengale say on @MLBNetwork that Greg Holland turned down the same contract the #Rockies gave Wade Davis.
Three-years, $52 million.
Wow!
What was Holland thinking?— Patrick Saunders (@psaundersdp) February 2, 2018
As you probably know, the free agent market still has a lot of good players on it and many teams aren’t biting on the exorbitant asking prices of players and their agents.
