Welcome to the offseason! Tuesday marked the day that free agency is officially open after teams became 40-man roster compliant. Now, teams begin the process of wheeling and dealing because the collective bargaining agreement expires in less than a month…
Purple Row writer Skyler Timmins suggests that free agent starting pitchers Foster Griffin and Colin Rea could be viable rotation options for the Colorado Rockies this offseason. Following a 2026 season where the Rockies recorded a league-worst 5.59 team ERA, the front office and pitching coach Ethan Katz face a rotation with only Mason Adams and Gabriel Hughes viewed as locks.
Timmins notes that left-hander Foster Griffin logged a 3.59 ERA across 183 innings in 2026 but could command an estimated three-year, $39 million contract. Meanwhile, 36-year-old right-hander Colin Rea posted a 4.34 ERA over 137 innings for the Chicago Cubs and represents a potentially more affordable one-year option.
