The Rockies’ season went up in flames almost from the beginning but don’t expect a fire sale between now and the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
“We’ll see what happens,” general manager Bill Schmidt said. “Some teams have reached out, mostly on our bullpen guys. I’m not going to name names, but there has been interest there.
There has been middling interest in veteran outfielders Jurickson Profar and Randal Grichuk, as well as first baseman C.J. Cron, Colorado’s lone All-Star last year. All of three are in the final year of their contracts. “You’d like to be respectable, right?” he said. “You’re not going to run out a Triple-A team out there — for the integrity of the game. But if there is interest in our players and we think it’s a good decision for our organization, long-term, then we will make considerations.”
“Needless to say, we need to add pitching,” Schmidt said. “We have some position-player prospects coming up, and we feel good about that. And we also like some of the pitching prospects we have coming up, but we’ve had injuries, so you’re always looking to increase your depth.”The Rockies icon, who turned 37 on July 1, remains on the injured list with a broken right hand. He hopes to return by the end of the month.
