Santa did not bring the Colorado Rockies much for Christmas, but he did give them a very nice early present: A trade for Cal Quantrill. Like a pair of warm socks, this is a practical, useful gift.
After all, it’s no secrete that the Colorado Rockies’ need for pitching is acute.
In 2023, the Rockies used a franchise-record 17 different starting pitchers in a season riddled with injuries.
Of the five starters, two — Germán Márquez and Antonio Senzatela — underwent Tommy John surgery while a third — Ryan Feltner — missed most of the season after suffering a skull fracture.
