Are the Colorado Rockies better than the Arizona Diamondbacks now?

Additions and subtractions for the Rockies

With being the most active team, the Rockies have a lot in the addition column but they also have had some subtractions.

Obviously, some of the players on the subtractions list were not huge losses (like Shane Carle, who made three appearances with the Rockies in 2017) but some, like Jonathan Lucroy, are much more of a loss. The Rockies seem to believe that Iannetta is similar to Lucroy but much cheaper (but if I can tell you one thing, that’s not the case: they need to acquire a starting catcher).

Additions and subtractions for the Diamondbacks

They obviously lost Chris Iannetta to the Rockies and have not made many additions, as we mentioned but they have a lot of subtractions.

So, the Diamondbacks have less overall subtractions and more overall additions than the Rockies but the quality of what the teams have is key.
