Trade deadline action is already in full swing. Nelson Cruz is a Ray. Adam Frazier is a Padre. The stove is hot and the pressure is on for contenders to buy and the sellers to sell high. Personally, it’s my favorite time of the baseball year. It’s a chance for all clubs to make quick progress in their respective directions.
The Rockies have a chance to do just that at this year’s trade deadline. Colorado has four meaningful contributors on expiring deals (Trevor Story, Jon Gray, Mychal Givens, C.J. Cron). That’s four opportunities to flip into, at worst, farm system depth as opposed to having them walk away for nothing in return in the fall.
