The Rockies’ history of signing free agents is...rocky at best (pun intended). Since Jeff Bridich took over as general manager in 2014, the team has signed eight free agents to contracts of $10 million or more:
- OF Gerardo Parra, 3 years/$27.5 million
- RHP Jason Motte, 2 years/$10 million
- IF/OF Ian Desmond, 5 years/$70 million
- LHP Mike Dunn, 3 years/$19 million
- RHP Wade Davis, 3 years/$52 million
- LHP Jake McGee, 3 years/$27 million
- RHP Bryan Shaw, 3 years/$27 million
- 1B Daniel Murphy, 2 years/$24 million
Of those eight free agents, only Parra and Murphy finished their full contracts before becoming free agents again.
