Colorado Rockies weekend discussion thread for July 27-28, 2024
The weekend is a great time to kick back and reflect. This Week in Purple is the place to catch up on the news from our team at Purple Row. You’ll find links to Rockpiles and other content below as well as a platform for community discussion in the comments.

The All-Star Break is behind us. The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is behind us. Now it’s time to turn our sights ahead to the trade deadline on Tuesday. At last year’s deadline, the Colorado Rockies did make a few low-profile moves at the deadline, moving Mike Moustakas, C.J. Cron, Randal Grichuk to the Los Angeles Angels (in two separate trades) and Pierce Johnson to the Atlanta Braves. This year, it’s been established that Ryan McMahon will likely be staying around (unless they want another Tulo fiasco). However, there are a few other pieces that could be moved depending on how much the Rockies want to lean into their rebuild youth movement.
That said, we’ve done a little speculating on Purple Row, But in general, here’s what our writers were up to this week:
