Rockies fans could fall in love with Mickey Moniak, but only if they get the chance for a long-term relationship.
As next Thursday’s trade deadline nears, the Rockies will be fielding calls about Moniak, if they haven’t already. The club must decide if the outfielder is integral to their rebuilding blueprint or if they’d be better off dealing him for prospects and/or pitching.
It won’t be an easy decision.
The Rockies are hoping several young outfielders, led by Zac Veen, Yanquiel Fernandez and Benny Montgomery, will eventually blossom. But what if the 27-year-old Moniak is already in full bloom?
