Rockies fan favorite DJ LeMahieu is now a New York Yankee, having agreed to a two-year, $24 million contract on Friday. He’s going to face a new kind of pressure when he plays in the Big Apple.
But here in Denver, some other people are also going to feel the squeeze. Either Ryan McMahon, Garrett Hampson or Brendan Rodgers, all candidates to replace LeMahieu at second base, are going to have to produce big time if the Rockies are going to make it to the postseason for their third season in a row.
And you know who else is on the hot seat?
