Rockies Bolster Rotation with Quintana Signing
12 Feb
Summary
- Jose Quintana agrees to a one-year deal with the Rockies.
- The Rockies aim for an efficient Spring Training focusing on recovery.
- Kris Bryant's back injury requires extensive rehab work at home.
The Colorado Rockies are poised to strengthen their pitching staff with the expected signing of veteran left-hander Jose Quintana to a one-year contract worth $6 million. This addition brings the Rockies' Major League roster to six pitchers with prior Major League experience, a notable shift from the previous season's struggles.
The team is also retooling its Spring Training approach under new management. Focusing on player recovery and efficient, concentrated workouts, the Rockies aim to optimize preparation for the upcoming season, valuing rest and specialized drills over prolonged sessions.
Despite these positive developments, the team faces ongoing injury concerns. Kris Bryant will undergo extensive rehabilitation for his persistent back issues at his home in Las Vegas, while utility player Tyler Freeman is expected to have a delayed start to camp due to his own back concerns.
