NEWS/RUMORS/AROUND MLB Thread

The Rockies never win. CarGo has one or two more years left on his deal. How can you say they can't trade him when they unloaded Tulo last year?

 

How can you say the ROX never win when they were in the WS in 2007?
Also won 90+ 2 or 3 years after that.
The ROX sneak up and put together a year every now and then, TBH they're about due, they definitely have talent.
There's 1yr left on CarGo's deal, but they reportedly want a lot for him.
Like @ColoradoKidWitGame said they could have a really good team next year if they keep CarGo and their farm isn't really desperate for anything right now.
They traded for Jake McGee because they plan on winning.

 

I didn't say that they can't, I said they shouldn't. There's a difference. The Tulo trade has allowed them the ability to sit tight and potentially make one more run with CarGo. The Rockies got a good front of the rotation arm for a guy that the Jays thought was still the best SS in baseball. Tulo had worn out his welcome here, whether the fans believed it or not, plus the dude was never healthy. They got offered a solid deal and took it. The second part of the deal blew up in their faces though, when a rumored third party decided not to piggyback on first trade and take Reyes off their hands. They have a solid young pitching group coming up and a good positional core already in place. Just because they haven't won for a couple years doesn't mean they shouldn't try to win next year.

 

So they've had 2 good years in their existence? I'm just now seeing it, Winslow. Might as well get some quality for CarGo before he bolts after next year.

 

Yeah I used the wrong words in my original post. Still, I'm not too optimistic with the Rockies. Might as well get a good deal for CarGo as well before his contract expires. It's a moot point though until we actually hear something about it.

 

2 good years and a lot of talented teams beforehand that lacked the pitching to put it all together, but as @ColoradoKidWitGame said they currently have quality pitching on the way and the past doesn't preclude them from trying in the near future.
They want more than just some quality for CarGo, they wanna raid the top of your farm for 1 and a half years of control of CarGo AKA they really have no plans to move him.
Their price for CarGo matches up with their move for Jake McGee.
It's definitely moot until we get some reports that CarGo is being discussed tho, I mean we may as well be talking about McCutchen too, the ROX have a better record than PIT and McCutchen's final year of his deal is next year as well.
We can run down all the would be non-Bruce options, but the Dodgers are interested in Bruce.

 

Kershaw flying to LA to be examined by team doctors for his back. Insert the GIF from this weeks GOT and Tommin. That's me right now if I my house wasn't a ranch.

 

If they get something big for him, then yeah I would definitely say they should consider it. Like if they were offered a De Leon, Moncada, Gallo, Baez/Schwarber then they should consider it, but I just don't see that happening. He's having a great year after finishing 2015 as one of the hottest players in the game. He's not going to come cheap and the team probably wants to show Arenado that they're trying to put a winner together as he is already starting to get pissed. Another reason they may only look for the big deal is that even a year after the Tulo trade and even though it looks like the Rockies were the clear winners of the deal, fans are still pissed about it and think they could have done better or most still prefer to have kept him. I just don't see them moving him unless it is for a package where you go, "yeah, that's a steal."

 

Oh yeah Lol Arenado went off on the team, forgot about that

 

They have Dahl, the 5-Tool prospect, but he needs more time. He's had two years cut way short due to multiple freak accidents. He's doing well in AA right now, but needs time in AAA before he comes up. They have another OF prospect in AA that looks to be pretty good, but he's a high avg/OBP/no power guy. I just don't see them getting the deal they'd want to move him. They need more immediate ready players and I have a hard time seeing someone do it unless they're desperate.
I'm gonna go on a limb and say they really didn't know what they had in Story. He's been a peak/valley prospect since he was signed. First he was the second coming of Tulo, then it was Ian Stewart and then a mix of in betweens. SS was Reyes' to lose, then he got into trouble and Story had a hell of a Spring that has kept going.
Basically, if they trade Cargo, they're likely punting this season, next season and blowing any chance at resigning Arenado.

 

Marquez looks promising, the kid they got in the Dickerson trade, possibly one of the top 3 arms on their farm.
He has the change that they love, so he fits right in.
Perhaps Marquez replaces Cotton in the Future's Game if LAD has to call him up

 

Greinke leaves his start tonight with an injury.

Yeah, they've really been touting him up as a steal. I was more talking about the guys they have for positional players though as they don't have a ton of guys on the cusp of being ready. They had some really bad drafts before the last couple of years.
Haha, they just started their game tonight against the Jays, thinking of rolling over there since I have nothing to do tomorrow.

 

I'm gonna kill myself if Kershaw and or Joc are hurt

 

Step down from the ledge Tommen.
