The rebuilding Rockies will be judged on what they accomplish at the trade deadline. However, it would likely benefit them to start seeking out deals now that the first domino has fallen.

From expiring contracts to crowded position groups to players who simply just aren’t part of the future in Colorado, the Rockies have plenty of players they could look to ship out.

After being converted to the bullpen last season, long-time Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. In 23 appearances he has eight pitcher wins, three saves, a 2.13 ERA over 42.1 innings, and is worth 2.0 wins above replacement per Baseball Reference. Quite simply, the 31-year-old’s value has never been higher.

Senzatela has a $14 million club option for 2027, which the Rockies seem unlikely to pick up.

Former first overall pick Mickey Moniak has become a fan favorite in Colorado and seems to have finally found a home after his time with the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Angels. Moniak is hitting .282/.335/.596 with nine doubles, two triples, and 12 home runs this season and was a potential All-Star candidate before being sidelined for a month with right ankle tendonitis.

But is Moniak really a part of the Rockies’ future? The 28-year-old is part of an extremely crowded outfield group that has multiple prospects vying for playing time. He’s also only produced against right-handed pitching.

The Rockies signed switch-hitting Puerto Rican second baseman and utilityman Willi Castro to a two-year deal this off-season. After a somewhat slow April, Castro has turned into both a solid second baseman and effective hitter for the Rockies. Through the first 81 games of 2026 he has hit .282/.356/.411 with 13 doubles and six home runs—including a grand slam—and is worth 1.1 wins above replacement per Baseball Reference. Castro still has a year left on his deal, and the Rockies don’t really have big league ready options at second base. However, it might be worth exploring trades involving Castro when his value is potentially at it’s peak right now.

The Rockies have potentially valuable pieces for the trade market this season, but the deadline is still weeks away. Should they start making trades now? Who would you want to see the Rockies trade? Who should be considered untouchable?
