This past spring, the Colorado Rockies new front office made it a priority to acquire short-term stopgaps for the starting rotation. They did this by bringing in three capable veteran arms — Michael Lorenzen, José Quintana, and Tomoyuki Sugano — on one-year deals that would provide depth and baseline competency. This was done, in part, […]

There's at least one high-end player that each MLB team at the top of the standings should be looking to acquire at the trade deadline.
The pitch was a slider, up. With two strikes and two outs, that’s usually a pitcher’s count – but Cam Nelson had been hunting something he could drive all night, and this was it. “I was just looking for a pitch up, a pitch I could do damage with,” Nelson said. “I saw a breaking […]
