At 45-67, the Colorado Rockies will lose 100 games if they go 17-33 (or worse) over their final 50 games. Not only did they keep their best players at the trade deadline, but they have not gone 17-33 (or worse) for any 50-game stretch this entire season.

#Rockies POBO Paul DePodesta on trade negotiations for the likes of Hunter Goodman, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak: “I don’t think we got particularly close on any of those players because I think our internal price was going to be higher than what the market would bear.”

#Rockies Kyle Freeland on the Antonio Senzatela trade: “(We) grew in this game together. We broke into the league together… We've been together for 12 years, from Low-A all the way to right now. He's an incredible human being. I wish nothing much the best for him and his family moving forward.”

One final game of catch for Antonio Senzatela (blue arm sleeve) as a member of the Colorado Rockies. Signed as an international free agent in 2011, Senza had been the longest tenured member of the organization.

#Rockies Mickey Moniak on the Brenton Doyle trade: “Losing a guy like BD, two-time Gold Glover, unbelievable player, but I think it's just a testament to the the type of talent we have in the organization right now, especially in the outfield.”

Rays (Liam Hicks) and Red Sox (Adley Rutschman) have their upgrades at catcher. Seems unlikely anyone else pays the #Rockies price for Hunter Goodman now. Still a few hours until the 4 p.m. MDT trade deadline. Maybe someone steps up. If not, Colorado could revisit this offseason.

Been real quiet at the offices on the corner of 20th & Blake on trade deadline day so far. Would you be upset if the #Rockies held onto virtually everyone to avoid 100 losses for the fourth-straight season? Or should they focus on improving the roster with an eye towards 2028?

Entering today, only two pitchers in MLB history had ever made 250+ starts and had never thrown a complete game: Eduardo Rodríguez Kyle Freeland Cross K-Free off that list after going the distance against the Royals on Sunday.

The return of Brenton Doyle from a series of injuries means Cole Carrigg will spend time away from center field. On Saturday, Carrigg will start at shortstop for the first time in the Majors. For more on the #Rockies plan for the overstocked outfield: www.justbaseball.com/mlb/colorado...

How Can Cole Carrigg and Brenton Doyle Best Co-Exist?

It’s rare that the return of a 2x Gold Glover is viewed as problematic. For the Rockies, it's the first "good problem" in a long time.

Ever see a grounds crew put on the tarp while the starting lineup is being announced? *Listen for the thunder and the announcement of lightning nearby, so clear the Rooftop, Rockpile and upper deck at Coors Field.

If the Colorado Rockies want to acquire starting pitching, there are five teams that could scratch that itch before Monday’s trade deadline. Would you be opposed to making another deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Baltimore has discussed 2B Jackson Holliday with other teams. Could the Rockies actually add for the future - and secure the third of three Hollidays - while also subtracting at the Aug. 3 trade deadline?
