As the days tick away toward July 31 and the non-waiver trade deadline, the Colorado Rockies are being linked to numerous players in trade rumors. There are numerous possibilities out there for the Rockies. They could add a reliever. They could add a catcher. They could add a starter. They could do nothing and stay pat.

It’s an interesting time for fans trying to figure out the best path the Rockies could take. However, have no fear. Our own Jake Shapiro is here with an episode of the Rockie Road podcast and he boils it down to two trade targets who should be acquired by Colorado.

As a bit of a spoiler, Shapiro believes that the Rockies need a pair of relievers. Who are those relievers and what it might take for them to land in Colorado? Click here to listen to the podcast and find out.

Shapiro also breaks down what has been an interesting time since the All-Star break with the loss of DJ LeMahieu and the rise of Garrett Hampson into his role. Where does this leave Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers? Shapiro gives his opinion.

Of course, it’s hard to talk about LeMahieu without talking about his long-term situation. With his contract expiring at the end of the season and the Rockies seemingly blessed with depth at second base (including the above-mentioned players and Forrest Wall). It’s obvious that the Rockies will be facing a tough decision on LeMahieu, and his injury has opened the door for Hampson to show his worth and future potential.
