On Sunday night, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported that the Colorado Rockies are interested in free agent second baseman Brian Dozier on a short-term deal.
As Harding noted in his column for MLB.com, the Rockies are interested in a short-term deal for Dozier, in part, because the Rockies “have to balance the pursuit against payroll concerns.”
Personally, I think that the Rockies interest in Dozier is a bit … interesting. He’s not a fit for the team in many ways. First off, the aforementioned payroll issue. The Rockies are going to be paying Nolan Arenado north of $25 million this season in arbitration, Charlie Blackmon $21.
