Elias Díaz extension and McMahon & Rodgers as options at SS w/ Drew Goodman Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

GM Bill Schmidt does it again, locking up Elias Díaz to a three-year, $14.5 million contract that keeps the 31-year-old catcher in purple pinstripes through the 2024 season.

Rumblings of Ryan McMahon at shortstop are intriguing, as are possibilities of Brendan Rodgers moving back to his natural position. One thing is for sure: there cannot be a platoon at this position until Ezequiel Tovar is ready to make his debut.

Show notes

Trevor Story has not yet made a decision about the Rockies qualifying offer, but Eduardo Rodriguez has made up his mind: he's joining the surging Detroit Tigers.

On this day in 1992, Colorado signed Andrés Galarraga to a one-year deal and the next day they assembled the rest of their club in the Expansion Draft. The Rockies won the day acquiring Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette, as well as 12 total players that appeared in the 1995 postseason. Also, they would draft three catchers that went on to become managers.
