Rockies News
Kyle Freeland delivered a masterclass with his first career complete game in an impressive 8-1 win over the Kansas City Royals, a fitting send-off if he’s dealt before the looming trade deadline. With the Rockies at 44-67 and in 5th place in the division, Freeland's stellar performance could spark some interest from contenders, especially as the clock ticks down to Monday's 4 p.m. MT deadline. Meanwhile, the Rockies face a conundrum with Brenton Doyle's return, complicating the plans for Cole Carrigg, a rare issue for a team that has struggled all season. The Rockies' recent run differential of -4 over the last week highlights their inconsistency, and questions abound on whether they should buy or sell. As Hunter Goodman keeps shining, this team's direction remains uncertain but increasingly crucial.
