Colorado Rockies Rumors: Two Relievers “Available” For Trade?

In this article by Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, it’s reported that Qualls and Motte “are said to be available” should another team come calling. While they may be available, it may be a stretch that any other team would be interested in their services.

Both are in the second year of a two-year contract they signed with the Rockies. Both also struggled last season, both on the mound and to stay on the mound.

In 30 games, Motte posted a career-high 4.94 ERA and allowed six homers in just 23.2 innings of work. The 34-year-old right-hander started last season on the disabled list and spent time on the disabled list during the season with rotator cuff inflammation and strain.
