With the start of the month of July, the rumors regarding the Colorado Rockies and Major League Baseball’s trade deadline will kick into high gear.

The end of the month will also bring the deadline upon the Rockies and the rest of the league. With Colorado sitting in prime position to earn its first postseason bid since 2009, Jeff Bridich and his management team will more than likely do one of two things: Either stick with the team already assembled (a possibility we discussed in this article) or look for trade partners who could make the 2017 Rockies even stronger for the postseason.

Noah Yingling looked at three starting pitchers who could be targets for the Rockies in this article. I looked at three bullpen arms who could help Colorado in this article. Feel free to click on the links as they will open in a separate browser and you can read them once you’re done with this article.

While Noah and I have examined some of the names that are out there, there are already plenty of rumors floating out and about regarding which players could be wearing purple and pinstripes soon.

In this article, we’ll look at three names who have been mentioned in conjunction with the Rockies and what the acquisition might mean for the team.
