Colorado Rockies trade rumors: A guide to assessing a player’s value

The trade deadline is all about finding the right value. Whether you’re trading a star like Troy Tulowitzki or are moving on from a failed development prospect like Tommy Kahnle, you always want to get the appropriate value or more when dealing players. In both of these situations, the Rockies got fair or better deals; the Jose Reyes part of the trade failed, but Hoffman looks like part of a future dynamic duo with Jon Gray at the top of the rotation. The Rockies got Yency Almonte from the White Sox for Tommy Kahnle this past offseason and, while Kahnle has struggled, Almonte has been impressive in High-A Modesto.
