The Colorado Rockies are having a serious issue with aging players. On the current 40-man roster, there are eight players who are in their thirties and with the exception of Charlie Blackmon and Yonder Alonso (on a low-risk, high-reward MiLB deal), all have been major disappointments this season.
- Yonder Alonso (32)
- Chad Bettis (30)
- Charlie Blackmon (33)
- Wade Davis (33)
- Ian Desmond (33)
- Jake McGee (33)
- Daniel Murphy (34)
- Bryan Shaw (31)
Not only have they been a disappointment on the field, they have become a strain on the pocketbook.
