What is Matt Holliday going to do for the Colorado Rockies? | Rox Pile
On July 28, three days before the non-waiver trade deadline, the Colorado Rockies acquired a bat. But it wasn’t in the way many were expecting. Rather than swinging a trade, the Rox decided to bring back old friend Matt Holliday, signing him to a minor league deal. At the age of 38, Holliday was unable to find a job with a Major League team up until General Manager Jeff Bridich came calling. It undoubtedly makes for a great story, as Holliday had a wonderful tenure with the Rockies, the team that drafted him, from 2004-2008.
