Mickey Moniak may not be widely known around Major League Baseball, yet the NL West is a different story. With Moniak, the Colorado Rockies are outfield rich, while the San Diego Padres could use an outfielder to solidify their defense, and add oomph to their lineup. A potential trade for the streaking Moniak could make sense for the Friars. Everyone knows the Rockies are ready to sell, but would they sell to a division foe?
There are variables the Padres must consider however. In a recent article for MLB, Thomas Harding mentioned Moniak's immediate love for Coors Field, a well-known, hitter-friendly park.
