The hot stove is heating up again as the international signing period has opened. As expected, Roki Sasaki signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, dealing yet another blow to Colorado Rockies fans. But at least they signed Keston Hiura and Nick Martini to minor league deals? No word on non-roster invites yet, though. But it is PuRPs season!
Spring training is just about a month away, so there is a small light at the end of the dark offseason tunnel. That means baseball is just around the corner, but it also means we have to watch the Rockies potentially lose 100 games for a third-straight season. At least there’s the potential Purple Row Opening Day Breakfast to look forward to?
