The Colorado Rockies are in a similar position to a number of teams as the trade deadline approaches. They are on the fringes of the playoff race and don’t look like they’ll make it. On the other hand, they are one winning streak away from being back in the thick of it
The distinction between buyers and sellers won’t be as clear as it might have been in previous seasons. Teams might be reluctant to make big investments or bold moves with such a cluttered playoff race. The Rockies currently reside in that gray area, and it might stay that way until the day of the deadline.
