The Rockies have made some major moves this offseason, locking down multiple relievers and building what some people have called a “super bullpen.” What nobody can argue with is how super expensive the super bullpen will be in 2018. As of this writing, the Rockies have six relievers signed for a total of $45.8 million, the most any team has ever spent on relievers in one season.
Going into the offseason, the Rockies had salary commitments of $7 million in 2018 with both Mike Dunn and Adam Ottavino. Since then, the Rockies have signed three more relievers: Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw both got $27 million over three years, and the blockbuster Wade Davis signing, netting the closer $52 million dollars in a three-year deal.
