Rockies consider player options to avoid fifth straight 100-loss season
Summary

The Colorado Rockies, with a record of 57–99, are contemplating which player to illegally acquire from a playoff team if given the chance. Currently facing the prospect of a fourth consecutive season with 100 or more losses, they are evaluating players like Brice Turang, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Aaron Judge. The proposed player must be from one of the 12 playoff teams and non-free agent, as the Rockies seek a talent that could improve their roster before the season ends. The choice of a player could provide a boost, though it won't turn them into immediate contenders.
