The Colorado Rockies intend to retain catcher Hunter Goodman as they approach the 2026 MLB trade deadline. Goodman, 26, is having a career season, currently with 21 home runs and an.858 OPS in 69 games. While the Rockies plan to be sellers, they recognize Goodman's value as a key asset in their rebuild and are not looking to trade him despite the opportunity for a significant return. This decision reflects their strategy to focus on their future, as Goodman's offensive capabilities are rare among catchers.
