Helllooo everybody and come along for the ride as I take on the task of rebuilding the Colorado Rockies here on MLB The Show 24.
In this episode, we'll kick things off with the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline. The Rockers are sellers this year although they have started to hit their stride and come around as a team but just too little too late. Thus, they're in line to trade perhaps the best starting pitcher on the market this year in Cal Quantrill who has been dominant over his past nine starts at 4-2 with a 1.39 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. The defending champ Chicago Cubs have expressed interest, along with the St. Louis Cardinals who enter the deadline with the best record in baseball.
Set to hit the open free agent market for the first time this offseason, Brendan Rodgers was rumored to be on the block, although Colorado may look to lock him up long-term. In an extremely surprising deadline deal, the Rockies unloaded a MASSIVE contract to the New York Yankees in what was essentially a salary dump and sets Colorado up extremely well in this upcoming free agency.
Following the trade deadline, our 2025 MLB Draft Class overall and potential ratings will finally be revealed, headlined by #7 overall pick 3B Alex Parra. The Rockies enjoyed a dream draft scenario in Year 2 of this franchise, and after seeing the ratings, it can be safely said that they hit a home run!
A few episodes back we enjoyed tremendous success with last year's #3 overall pick Michael Yamashita in a Player Lock game. In this episode, we'll check out the #41 overall pick from that same draft in Herb Lopez. The numbers haven't been all that great for Lopez, but he imposes dominant velocity and break but just needs to round out the edges. In a Player Lock game, Lopez collects 11 strikeouts against the Rochester Patriots, but would it be enough for the win?
To close the episode we'll pick up in a key moment as Taj Bradley is on for the save in a 7-5 game with the bases loaded and none other than Mike Trout at the dish. Bradley has blown a few saves in his short stint as the closer, but could he hold it down this time against one of the game's best hitters?
In the next episode, we'll get the season back in full swing as we'll try to move through the entirety of August into September Call-Ups. The Rockies currently stand at 51-61 with 50 games remaining and need to finish the season 30-20 to hit our goal of playing 500 baseball this season in Year 2 of the rebuild.
