A recent ESPN.com article listed the offseason needs for all 30 Major League teams and had center field as a priority for the Colorado Rockies heading into the 2019 campaign. Among the possibilities listed in the article for a Colorado trade with the Reds for Hamilton. However, with the Reds sending Hamilton out the door, the Rockies can now look to add him without giving up prospects.
Of course, the problem is this … Hamilton’s hitting would not fit in with Colorado’s desperate need to boost the offense before next season. Yes, his defense would be an upgrade over Charlie Blackmon and allow Blackmon to move to a corner outfield spot.
