There are typically two veteran archetypes seen on a Major League Baseball team: a guy who has been with one team for his entire career, and a journeyman who has been brought in as a veteran presence in the clubhouse.
The 2024 Colorado Rockies features both.
Charlie Blackmon and Ryan McMahon have been with the Rockies since they were drafted, while Jake Cave and Jacob Stallings were brought in during the offseason to provide leadership in the clubhouse and on the field.
Each archetype brings their own unique presence and experience.
Charlie Blackmon, 37, has played [1545] games (and counting) since his MLB debut in 2011.
