With the 2020 minor league season likely to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Rockies have joined the majority of major league teams by releasing players throughout their farm system.
The Rockies wouldn’t give any information about the cuts, but The Denver Post estimates that about 34 players have been released over the past two months. The most notable of those was right-hander Tim Melville, who posted a 4.86 ERA in seven second-half starts for Colorado last season.
The majority of players released are prospects that the average fan has never heard of.
