There's another benefit to the addition of Chad Qualls and Jason Motte to the Rockies' bullpen outside of veteran relief depth for 2016.
The Colorado Rockies' decision to sign both Jason Motte and Chad Qualls to two-year deals earlier this week is ostensibly about bringing aboard strike-throwing, experienced late-inning bullpen options. While that — as well as the future trade value of the two righties — is the biggest takeaway from Tuesday's moves, there's at least one other beneficiary: Boone Logan.
After two underwhelming seasons with the Rockies — Logan was bad, but also significantly misused and asked to face far too many righties — maybe now the expensive veteran will settle into the role he should've initially held in Colorado as a left-handed specialist.
