According to a tweet from Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Colorado Rockies inked veteran utilityman Chris Owings to a minor-league contract on Friday. The contract can become worth $1 million ($1.1 million per a report from Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post) should the 28-year-old Owings make the Major League roster.
Owings is very familiar with the National League West, spending his first six professional seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks. During his time in the desert, he posted a .250/.291/.378 slash line in 2,302 plate appearances.
