Purple Row After Dark: Put on your front office thinking hats
Paul DePodesta at Colorado Rockies spring training | Kyle Cooper | Colorado RockiesTrade season is upon us! With a little over a week to go before the August 3 trade deadline, its expected that the Colorado Rockies will be one of the more active teams as a bona fide seller. The Rockies have already made one notable trade, sending Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there are plenty more moves that could potentially be made. The other night, Renee Dechert asked you to speculate about who could be dealt at the deadline, and there was a lot of great conversation. This time, Im asking you to put your general manager hats (or, in this case, it can double as a president of baseball operations hat) to build upon that speculation.If you were the one calling the shots, what deals would you try to make? What players are you getting in return to build this team and fulfill that Rockies goal of getting help right now and in the near future?Additionally, what other moves are you looking to make after the deadline? For example, what prospect are you calling up, and when, to get a long look at as the season winds down? For this exercise, Id ask that you try to be as realistic as you feel you can be, but I also welcome the off-the-wall moves (and please, no mock trades Yankees fans tend to make). As an added element, I plan on reacting to a number of these moves in my Rockpile next Wednesday. So, without further ado, sound off with your best ideas in the comments below and lets have some fun wheelin and dealin!Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!Please keep in mind ourPurple Row Community Guidelineswhen youre commenting.
