Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers is another option that the Rockies have. He has pitched well in 2017 as he has a 6-8 record. That’s not great but his ERA of 3.49 in 19 starts and 118 2/3 innings pitched is very good. His career ERA is 3.39 in 119 career starts.

He’s also been an All-Star for four of the five seasons in which he has pitched (he was out for the whole 2015 season and part of the 2016 with Tommy John surgery, the only years that he did not make the All-Star team). In 2013, he was 2nd in the AL Cy Young voting

He has not made an appearance in Coors Field or even faced the Rockies before (at least, outside of spring training).

He is owed about $5 million for the rest of 2017 and he’ll be a free agent at season’s end.

Our final starter currently in Oakland.
