If the end-of-the-season comments and reactions from Germán Márquez were any indication of what the future holds, it appears his time with the Colorado Rockies is over.
The Rockies appear to be moving on from the right-hander and will bring back left-hander Kyle Freeland to headline the rotation with Tanner Gordon and Chase Dollander behind him as the second and third starters. After that, there are questions surrounding how the rest of the rotation will look.
There isn’t really any clarity on how it will shake out since Colorado is still without a general manager. But one thing should be a given; any additions will likely be made with free agents on the cheaper end.
The Athletic (subscription required) listed the Top 50 free agents this offseason, and the Rockies were mentioned as a potential landing spot for one from a National League Central division team that made the playoffs.
