General manager Bill Schmidt and the Colorado Rockies have made their first major league signing in free agency, and it wasn’t the move people expected. The Rockies have signed journeyman shortstop José Iglesias to a one year, $5 million contract for the 2022 season.
The 32-year old Cuban shortstop made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox in 2011, but rose to prominence with the Detroit Tigers from 2013 to 2018. He’s a career .277/.318/.382 hitter over ten total seasons and 10.
