The Colorado Rockies have surprisingly made a flurry of roster moves just ahead of spring training. <\/p>\n
Colorado announced two trades on Jan. 28, sending<\/a> reliever Angel Chivilli to the New York Yankees for minor league first baseman T.J. Rumfield and acquiring<\/a> infielder Edouard Julien and pitcher Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for a minor league arm and cash considerations. At face value, Julien and Rumfield could both be options for the Rockies at first base, suggesting the club is at least stocking up on depth at the position. <\/p>\n But the Rockies are coming off a 119-loss campaign in 2025 and four straight years with a last-place finish in the National League West. They have some promising talent on the team, but they’re not exactly expected to be contenders this season. <\/p>\n While the Rockies aren’t known for being big spenders in free agency, they could have the opportunity to sign some veterans as spring training approaches and players start to run out of other options. Here are a few moves Colorado could consider making to help improve the team now and in the future. <\/p>\n
