Baseball Rumor News

According to The Denver Post, the Rockies are considering acquiring Jorge de la Rosa from Kansas City to complete the spring training trade of reliever Ramon Ramirez. A need has arisen in Colorado for more starting pitching now that Kip Wells may have a serious hand injury and Franklin Morales got sent back down to Triple-A. While de la Rosa is an option, the Rockies may also decide to bring up Josh Towers. It seemed that Towers was signed during the offseason for a situation just like this. He can come up, make a spot start, and be sent back down if he doesn’t perform up to snuff. This season in four starts, Towers is 2-1, with a 6.15 ERA in Triple-A…so that might not be the best option.
