Why the Rockies’ 2024 Season Could Defy All Expectations—For Better or Worse

Why the Rockies’ 2024 Season Could Defy All Expectations—For Better or Worse

Offseason moves:

When a team is this bad, you go out and try to build the team up or trade for prospects, right? Well, they at least tried to add some guys. They brought in Jose Quintana and Michael Lorenzen, both of whom are solid pitchers. They signed Willi Castro, who is a pretty decent player overall and a hitter. They did lose German Marquez, but I’m not overly upset by his departure. 

Roster:

In order for the Rockies to improve, they have to get excellence out of Quintana and Lorenzen. They won’t. Quintana has increased his ERA each year since 2022. Now he pitches at the hardest place to pitch in baseball. Lorenzen might be a decent option. I could see both of these guys getting traded, though. Kyle Freeland is still an arm I’d love to see somewhere else because I do think he has talent. An offseason signing I didn’t mention was Tomoyuki Sugano, who gave up 33 homers last year for Baltimore. The offense will probably be a little better with Castro, but we aren’t talking about an overhaul. This is more like trying to wipe up the ocean with one roll of paper towels.
