Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.
Since the Rockies seem to want to avoid the free-agent market, why won’t they pursue a trade? The Baltimore Orioles are on record that outfielder Cedric Mullins and pitcher John Means are available. These two players may cost a couple of good minor-league prospects, but it would certainly strengthen the roster. DJ, it’s a little early to say that the Rockies want to “avoid free agency.” With the lockout now in place, there will be no moves of any kind until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.
