Deadline moves for the Rockies
Rockies make multiple moves ahead of 40-man roster deadline, including designating Jordan Patterson for assignment | Denver Post ($)
In a rush to beat the deadline, the Rockies made some hurried moves to hold onto some of their best prospects. The Rockies snagged two pitchers, Ryan Castellani and Justin Lawrence, an infielder, Josh Fuentes, and outfielder Sam Hilliard. The Rockies also designated for assignment Jordan Patterson. Those players the Rockies protected are now safe from the Rule 5 Draft in December. The Rockies have long had impressive depth in their roster, and now they’ve got some more secure prospects.
