Scaling the Rocks: Rumors are rampant

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman has become a prime subject of offseason trade speculation following a 41-home-run campaign. Renee Dechert reports that Goodman's high trade value and three years of remaining team control are driving intense rumors ahead of an anticipated busy November. Various media outlets, including Heavy Sports and Bleacher Report, have linked Goodman to potential suitors such as the New York Yankees as Colorado seeks ways to rebound from a 100-loss season.

Dechert also highlights several additional Rockies notes, including praise for Willi Castro's career-best season and recent comments from president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta regarding the team's starting rotation struggles. Additionally, league-wide news touches on qualifying offer penalties, the postseason performances of the Cleveland Guardians and Milwaukee Brewers, and impending free agents across Major League Baseball.
