Here is the state of the Rockies as the hot stove season begins in earnest.
Bryant’s contract was the biggest free-agent deal in Rockies history, but an early season back injury, followed by lingering plantar fasciitis, limited him to just 42 games. The Rockies are confident Bryant will report to spring training ready to play a full season.
Acquiring a solid starting pitcher would likely require trading a player such as Gold Glove second baseman Brendan Rodgers or third baseman Ryan McMahon. The Rockies are usually reluctant to make those kinds of deals, but in January 2016 former GM Jeff Bridich traded outfielder Corey Dickerson to Tampa Bay in exchange for prospect German Marquez and veteran lefty reliever Jake McGee.
One option is bringing in a left-handed hitter to pair with right-handed-hitting Yonathan Daza. That could open an early door for Montgomery.Colorado’s rotation ranked 29th in the majors in both ERA and strikeout rate . Marquez, the No. 1 starter, had a terrible season, posting a 5.12 ERA and a strikeout rate and swinging-strike rate that fell far below the league average.
Right-hander Carlos Estevez emerged as a solid set-up man , but he’s a free agent and is being courted by a number of teams, some of which could give him a shot as a closer and offer more money than Colorado. But his season ended in early June because of a torn flexor tendon in his pitching elbow that required surgery in July.
