Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich used the Winter Meetings to browse for the offensive impact the team needs, but there are plenty of shopping days before the 2019 season begins.
The Rockies' most-rumored trade targets -- Carlos Santana and Edwin Encarnacion -- were traded for each other Thursday near the end of the Winter Meetings. However, the Rockies already had begun a pivot toward free agency in their search for offense and to solidify the right side of the infield.
LAS VEGAS — Despite likely missing out on a couple of possibilities to boost offense production at first base, Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich seems to indicate the team will still make a splash sometime this offseason.

LAS VEGAS — As the 2018 Winter Meetings come to a close here at Mandalay Bay, the Colorado Rockies will leave Las Vegas without making a free agent acquisition or trade.

Rockies winter meetings update: Edwin Encarnación a trade target | Denver Post
The Rockies sound like they are in a negotiation stage with Cleveland for Edwin Encarnación. Jeff Bridich said prior to the Winter Meetings that offense would be the focus, and all of the rumors we’ve heard out of Las Vegas so far suggest that’s very much the case. Patrick Saunders notes that Cleveland would likely ask for pitching in return. Fortunately, the...
The Rockies' desire to improve their offense for a 2019 playoff push, while simultaneously maintaining a focus on a farm system-fueled future, has led to trade ideas. The Rockies are looking to deal primarily with the Mariners for Carlos Santana or with the Indians for Edwin Encarnacion.
LAS VEGAS — With the last full day of the 2018 Winter Meetings coming to a close here at the Mandalay Bay, there is still plenty happening in terms of the Colorado Rockies and some of their National League West foes.

Rockies in the mix to trade for first baseman Carlos Santana | Mile High Sports
The Rockies, a team that could certainly use a seasoned first baseman, are interested in Carlos Santana from the Seattle Mariners. This isn’t the first time they’ve taken a look at the infielder, as they also were in talks for him when he was with the Phillies. Santana would help to fill the void at first base, and he could give the team some offensive power. He...
It's not clear if shifting center fielder Charlie Blackmon is an idea whose time has come, but it's been bandied about for the better part of a year.
There’s little argument that former New York Yankees star Babe Ruth is among the most hallowed names in the history of Major League Baseball. A dominating figure during his 16-year stint with the team, Ruth hit 714 homers with a career .342 average. Prior to that, Ruth was among the best pitchers in the game with the Boston Red Sox. When talking about MLB’s greatest players, an argument can’t be seen as relevant without including Ruth. Apparently, MLB pitcher Adam Ottavino disagrees....
Could free agent Adam Ottavino strike Babe Ruth out? He seems to think so. But New York Yankees great David Cone is looking at this hypothetical matchup from a different angle. Cone isn’t necesarilly denying that Ottavino would strike Ruth out. But the former Cy Young Award winner also thinks that Ruth, the pitcher, would strike Ottavino out. We never thought we’d see a rivalry brew between two men born more than 90 years apart. But here we are. Cone does have a point. Ruth did strike...

DJ LeMahieu is the best second baseman in Rockies history. So, why are they letting him walk away? | The Athletic ($)
So it’s the time of year where the headline says one thing, a valid question, and yet the takeaway for many fans will be an entirely different thing. I assume I speak for at least some people when I say that, having made our peace with LeMahieu’s seemingly imminent departure, we’re just here for the rumors.
