The Colorado Rockies secured veteran left-handed reliever Scott Alexander, 35, with a one-year, $2 million contract, addressing a critical offseason need. Known for his groundball-inducing prowess, Alexander's impressive metrics at Coors Field, including a 1.46 ERA across 14 games, bolster the Rockies' bullpen. His addition allows the team to manage the recovery of Lucas Gilbreath, who is recovering from thoracic outlet surgery.

General manager Bill Schmidt emphasized Alexander's experience and effectiveness, particularly against left-handed hitters. Alexander’s past performance includes a strong 2.56 ERA in a limited role last season, making him a valuable asset for the Rockies moving forward.
