Here are the answers to the final two questions about the Colorado Rockies and their trade history with other MLB teams

Question 4: Which MLB franchise holds the longest span for not trading with the Rockies?

That would be the Milwaukee Brewers, who last made a deal with the Rockies on December 13, 2004. On that day, the Rockies purchased Marcos Carvajal from the Brewers. The right-handed reliever would make his MLB debut with the Rockies on April 6, 2005, with a spotless inning against the San Diego Padres.

He would pitch in 39 games that season (his only one with the Rockies), posting a 5.09 ERA and 94 ERA+.

While the Brewers and Rockies have only made eight trades in history, the first was a franchise-changer for the Rockies. On November 17, 1992, the Brewers traded Dante Bichette to the Rockies for Kevin Reimer.

As a note, the second-longest span between trades also belongs to a National League team, the Washington Nationals. The last deal between the Rockies and Nationals came on July 31, 2009, when the Rockies traded Robinson Fabian and Ryan Mattheus to the Nationals for Joe Beimel.

Question 5: Which National League West holds the current record for most all-time trades with the Rockies?

That would be the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have made eight trades with the Rockies throughout the years. The most recent came on November 24, 2014, when the Rockies traded Juan Nicasio to the Dodgers for Noel Cuevas.

In franchise history, the Rockies have made eight trades with the Dodgers, seven with the Arizona Diamondbacks, six with the San Diego Padres, and, as mentioned earlier, four with the San Francisco Giants.
