Yet another move for the #Rockies, they have acquired INF Edouard Julien and RHP Pierson Ohl from the #Twins for RHP Jace Kaminska & cash.
Julien is a lefty bat capable of 2B/1B with a 13% walk rate but struggled in his last two seasons.
Ohl pounds the zone could fit into the rotation mix

A busy morning for the #Rockies as @francysromeroFR reports the team has also DFA'd Cuban OF Yanquiel Fernandez.
Despite power potential as a corner OF/DH, Fernandez was plagued by a near 50% GB rate in '25, slashing .225/.265/.348 with a 30% K%
Good chance he is picked up by another team

Per the Transactions page, the #Rockies have officially signed Willi Castro.
To make room of the 40-man, pitcher Garrett Acton was Designated for Assignment

By my rough estimate, the #Rockies spent around $11 Million to bring in 4 free agents before spring training last offseason. This offseason so far, they have guaranteed $20.8M on 2 free agents. Not to mention whatever was spent on the FO & Coaching Staff

Willi Castro's deal with the #Rockies is 2 yrs, $12.8 million. ESPN's Jorge Castillo was first on the deal
#Rockies have reportedly signed Willi Castro to a two-year deal.
The Rox were looking for a versatile player and had been linked to Castro earlier this offseason. He can play all 3 OF spots and most of the infield. Wouldn't be surprised to see him pick up 1B too in Colorado like Orlando Arcia did.

The #Rockies were busy this past week, adding a couple of pitchers & making a trade for Jake McCarthy. What do these moves signal for the 2026 roster? @ffsn.bsky.social
