Daniel Montano and the imminent promotions
It’s probably going to be the first of a few within the next few weeks in the Rockies farm system. 23-year-old Daniel Montano recently got the call that he was being promoted from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford.

It’s been a long time coming, but Montano is starting to show why the Rockies splashed a $2 million signing bonus all the way back in 2015, when he was just 16. Let’s take a look at his trajectory so far and preview some of the other moves that might be looming.
