Baseball’s free-agent market bustled a bit Friday but the Rockies made no moves the day after a new collective bargaining agreement was reached between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Union.
The Rockies have been tied to free-agent sluggers Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Michael Conforto and Nick Castellanos, but other teams are also in the mix. As for Conforto, a major-league source said that while Colorado remains interested in the former New York Mets outfielder, landing Conforto is “not a top priority.”
Meanwhile, Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt played things close to the vest Friday as several Rockies players reported to Salt River Fields.
