The Colorado Rockies have gotten off to one of the worst starts to the season you could imagine. Colorado looks lost in every facet of the game, and it doesn't seem like it's going to turn it around.
With this in mind, the Rockies will likely begin unloading their veteran players in blockbuster trades to begin rebuilding their roster. There aren't many players on the roster with a lot of trade value, but the Rockies could land some prospects in exchange for a few of their veterans.
ESPN's David Schoenfield recently predicted the Rockies could look to trade veteran infielder Kyle Farmer this season.
"The Rockies rarely do anything splashy at the trade deadline -- and often do nothing at all -- but they'll have plenty of time to map out a potential strategy this year," Schoenfield wrote. "However, who would they even consider trading? Right-hander German Marquez is a free agent but hasn't shown any swing-and-miss stuff.
"Kyle Freeland is a homegrown local kid whom they will never trade. Ryan McMahon is signed through 2027 and is viewed as a franchise cornerstone. So that leaves ... Farmer? Maybe some team will want him as a utility guy."
Farmer isn't a superstar, but he's a valuable infield defender with defensive versatility and a decent bat. He's not going to slug very high, but he's a solid contact hitter with good defense.
The Rockies wouldn't net a huge return for Farmer, but it would be better than nothing.
