Héctor Gómez of Deportivo Z 101 reported on Twitter that the Colorado Rockies (and Chicago White Sox) were the frontrunners to land outfielder Yasiel Puig.
That sent Rockies Twitter into happiness (at least mostly happiness) as it seemed like the Rockies were at least in significant talks to sign a major league free agent. However, Nick Groke of The Athletic reported on Twitter that internal sources have told him that there is “nothing” to the rumors.
FanGraphs projects the Rockies left fielders to be dead last in WAR and they project center field to be 26th and right field to be 15th in baseball.
