Right-hander Jon Gray, who’s managed to tame the beast that is Coors Field like few other starting pitchers in Rockies history, became a free agent Sunday.
That’s because the Rockies did not tender Gray a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer.
However, as expected, the club did make a qualifying offer to star shortstop Trevor Story. Although Story has until Nov. 17 to accept or reject the offer, it’s expected that he will reject it and become a free agent. According to an industry source, at least four teams have already expressed an interest in Story. The chances of the shortstop negotiating a deal with Colorado are slim.
