So here’s the proposed trade from Aaron Chantler in this piece: the Rockies send Ryan McMahon and Jake McGee to the Seattle Mariners for right-handed outfielder Danny Santana and right-handed relief pitcher Sam Tuivailala.
It seems like a fair deal to me, but rather than dig into the specifics of a hypothetical trade any further than Chantler has already done in this interesting column, I want to focus on the potential big-picture strategy from Colorado’s perspective. This offseason will have lots of suggestions about what the Rockies should do with the likes of McGee and Bryan Shaw.
