After beating the Los Angeles Dodgers on opening day, the Rockies dropped the next three games and are tied for 4th place in the NL West with the Diamondbacks, who dropped 3 of 4 to Padres in their opening series.
Rockies Offseason:
The big news out of Colorado this past off season was the trade of All Star third baseman Nolan Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals for a collection of prospects and suspects. Still owed $200M through 2026 on an extension he’d signed just a year earlier, this was a straight salary dump. The Rockies are even paying his full salary of $35M in 2021.
