The MLB trade deadline arrives on Monday at 2 pm MT, and it’s still unclear how the Rockies are going to approach it. An inconsistent offense continues to put up mediocre results and the bullpen could always use reinforcing (more on that in a moment), but what can we actually expect? Thomas Harding offers readers a preview of the deadline and pegs the Rockies chances of swinging a deal at 65%.
It’s difficult to say if that’s too high or too low. You have to take into account the fact that the Rockies have rarely made more than modest upgrades at the trade deadline and the strangeness of a trade deadline coming halfway through a season that has just under 30 games left.
