The 2021 Major League Baseball trade deadline came and went on Friday afternoon, with the Colorado Rockies sitting back and watching the fireworks happen everywhere from Chicago to San Francisco.
In a conference call with Rockies media members on Friday just after the trade deadline, Colorado Rockies interim general manager Bill Schmidt talked with the media (including Rox Pile) about the franchise’s direction and lack of any moves at the deadline with the exception of reliever Mychal Givens being traded on Wednesday to the Cincinnati Reds for two minor league pitchers.
