The Colorado Rockies have some intriguing decisions to make when it comes to their upcoming offseason, with a few players set to be unrestricted free agents, and some others set to be eligible for arbitration. After a season in which they nearly had the most losses of all time, it is clear that changes are needed, and some of their players will have to walk to allow that to happen.
With lots of changes coming in the front office, it will be intriguing to see how things are handled in the short term. Assistant general manager Zack Rosenthal and general manager Bill Schmidt are both out of the picture now, so many of the roster decisions upcoming will be made by a new regime.
One of the free agents set to hit the market is infielder Orlando Arcia, a veteran who the Rockies acquired back in May after he was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves. A former All-Star who helped the Braves compete during their last few years, Arcia joined Colorado as a veteran depth option to rotate throughout the infield positions and provide some value there. However, after a difficult stretch, retaining him may not be worth the effort.
