An interesting thought for sure. Colorado’s outfield is loaded right now so a trade from there makes perfect sense. I still wonder if Doyle is the one who is traded after the McCarthy acquisition, but i think there are still infield questions that need to be answered.

Per @kgh23.bsky.social, the #Rockies have signed left-handed reliever Parker Mushinski to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training. The 26-year-old spent 2025 with Triple-A Columbus (Cleveland Guardians) and posted a 3.78 ERA over 46 appearances with 66 strikeouts over 50 innings.

I asked #Rockies POBO Paul DePodesta about Colorado and the free agent market.

"I think we have to be both open-minded and aggressive when it comes to acquiring talent. That means being involved in every way that we can acquire players and not shut off any avenue."
