2018 Rockies Preview: Once a weakness, the bullpen is now a source of strength | Mile High Sports
The Colorado Rockies featured a drastically improved bullpen compared to years past in 2017. Now, they’ve signed Wade Davis as their 2018 closer to a deal worth $52 million over three years, the largest contract ever for a relief pitcher. A three-year, $27 million deal for Bryan Shaw is also going to help to bolster a bullpen that is expected to be among the game’s best in ’18.
Let us not forget that building a talented 2018 bullpen didn’t require a sole reliance upon seeking players outside of the organization.
