The Rockies are facing an extreme makeover.
Regardless of whether general manager Bill Schmidt and the front office can swing any more deals before Tuesday’s trade deadline, the team will look much different in 2024.
Starting Outfielders Randal Grichuk and Jurickson Profar, and first baseman C.J. Cron won’t be back. Franchise icon Charlie Blackmon’s six-year, $108 million contract comes to an end after this season, too. The 37-year-old designated hitter/outfielder has been tight-lipped about his future.
Veteran relievers Brent Suter and Brad Hand are likely gone, too. The Rockies have explored a contract extension with Suter, but there are no guarantees the two sides will come together.
