Rockies offseason news: Adam Ottavino and DJ LeMahieu to become free agents

Jeff Bridich held a conference call Friday morning with reporters, and Nick Groke among others sent a series of tweets with the most notable information. The Rockies will not make qualifying offers to impending free agents Adam Ottavino and DJ LeMahieu ahead of today’s deadline. That means both will become free agents, and if they sign elsewhere, the Rockies won’t be due any compensation. It would have been risky to make an offer to either one, as it could have added more than $30 million to next year’s payroll for positions the Rockies need some flexibility in figuring out.
