The Colorado Rockies were among the first teams to reach out to Roki Sasaki when he became a free agent, indicating their interest in adding top-tier pitching talent to their roster.

Ryan McMahon, with a $12M salary in 2025, has been a consistent power hitter, hitting at least 20 home runs in each of the past five seasons. However, his home-road splits raise concerns, potentially making him a trade candidate for teams looking to rebuild. The Athletics, needing a third baseman and aiming to increase their payroll, could be a suitable destination for McMahon as they strive to reach a $100M budget.

Kyle Freeland, who is signed for $16M this season and next, has struggled with a 5.24 ERA over 21 starts last season. Despite his potential, the Rockies are in a rebuilding phase and may look to trade him to capitalize on his value, especially given their lack of hope for contention in the near future.

The Colorado Rockies are viewed as a questionable landing spot for Lorenzen, as the team is not aligned with his short-term goals and is unlikely to take a risk on a pitcher seeking dual-role opportunities.

Arenado spent the first eight years of his career with the Colorado Rockies, where he became one of the franchise's best players. During his time in Colorado, he made five All-Star teams and won a Gold Glove Award in every season, hitting 235 home runs and leading the National League in homers three times. His contributions helped the Rockies reach the playoffs in 2017 and 2018.
