Thomas Harding highlights the bright immediate future many Rockies players see. Partly, he says, it’s due to adding Ian Desmond and Mike Dunn, but he also writes that “even if they hadn't signed Desmond and Dunn, they would be in solid shape.” Harding then turns to some big questions about the remainder of the offseason and what else the team might do as the season approaches.
Harding suggests that the Rockies could still be active in the trade and free agent market, specifically identifying Mark Trumbo and the desire to add to the bullpen. He also floats the idea of contract extensions for Carlos González and Nolan Arenado, but Harding also states that Jeff Bridich has not identified this as an offseason priority.
