Jose Gomez is the key piece in Neshek trade

If you haven’t heard already, all star reliever Pat Neshek was traded last night to the Colorado Rockies for three minor-leaguers: infielder Jose Gomez, and two right-handed pitchers, J.D. Hammer and Alejandro Requena.

Gomez and Requena are both 20 years old and Hammer is 23. All three are playing their first year above rookie ball, so it’ll take a while before we see any of them, if they even pan out. You can see each of their stats in the story we posted last night.

Neshek is a really effective relief pitcher, and was having one of his best seasons as a pro.
