> Much like the Washington Nationals’ new leadership with shortstop CJ Abrams, the Colorado Rockies’ new front office wants to try to get more out of center fielder Brenton Doyle before seriously discussing him in trades.
> Coming off 119 losses, the Rockies will consider just about anything. But according to team sources, club officials are spending much of their time discussing their own players, wanting to make sure they value them properly.
> Rival clubs are drawn to Doyle’s defense, but if the Rockies moved him they would be selling low. Doyle’s OPS-plus went from 2 percent above league average in 2024 to 28 percent below in ‘25. He is entering his age 28 season, and under club control for four more years.
> The Rockies, given the volatility of relievers, might be more inclined to trade from their bullpen. They’ve bolstered their relief corps by trading for Brennan Bernardino and selecting RJ Petit from the Detroit Tigers with the first pick of the Rule 5 draft. Victor Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen were among their relievers who drew interest at the trade deadline.

It was kind of a rough year for Doyle, but he also had to deal with a terrible tragedy. I’d like to see what he can do in 2026 before deciding whether or not to move him.
Yea keep Doyle. If he’s part of your future, even as a defensive veteran to bridge into the new era, awesome. If your plan is to move him, then let him pump his value back up. He had a down year but he’s still pretty solid.
I don’t think you trade Doyle unless he’s having a really good year and can be a hot commodity at the deadline
Yay!
I mean his trade value is probably about as low as it could be right now, maybe hes worth more to a team at the deadline
If there’s anyone to keep, I think it’s Doyle. Obviously you got Tovar, but you’re going to need to keep a core to even build around.
