For Rockies fans waiting on Jeff Bridich to do something!, December 20 was the day. The hot stove brought the Rockies former Cubs first baseman Daniel Murphy. For more on the signing, I recommend this by Purple Row’s Ben Kouchnerkavich and this from Eric Garcia McKinley. You can also find analysis from national perspectives.
In addition to Murphy’s bat, I suspect the Rockies liked the short contract, which gives Tyler Nevin more time to develop, Murphy’s history on winning teams, and his availability via free agency, which allows them to keep their prospects.
