  • COL Second Baseman #12

    Farmer officially joins the Rockies after hitting .214 with a .646 OPS for the Twins in 2024. The 34-year-old can play all over the field, and should serve in a utility role — perhaps as the starting second baseman depending on the rest of the offseason for Colorado — but his fantasy value is significantly limited even if he’s a regular.
  • FA Second Baseman #12
    It’s a big cut from the $6.3 million that Farmer made as an arbitration-eligible player with the Twins last season, but we’re skeptical anyone else was offering Farmer this much after a season in which he posted an 82 OPS+. Maybe he’ll bounce back some at age 34... it could mean the difference between the Rockies winning 64 or 65 games next year.
  • FA Second Baseman #12
    Robert Murray of Fansided was the first to report that the two sides were nearing an agreement. No word yet on the financials of the deal — which also includes an option for the 2026 season. Farmer hit the open market at the end of October when the Twins declined his $6.5 million option for the 2025 season. If he finds his way into regular playing time at Coors Field — instead of simply being deployed against southpaws — Farmer could be a sneaky late-round option in deeper mixed leagues.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #47
    The Rockies traded for Quantrill a year ago and paid him $6.55 million coming off an awful season with the Guardians. He wound up justifying the salary in in going 8-11 with a 4.98 ERA, making him only a bit below average for as a Coors Field pitcher. Still, the team wasn’t going to pay $8 million-$10 million to keep him around for 2025. Perhaps he could return at a lesser price.
  • FA Shortstop #7
    This seems like good news for Rodgers, who might well turn into something more on a major league team that, well, is trying for something more than being a placeholder and a punchline. Rodgers, 28, has posted OPS+s of 102, 97 and 94 in his three relatively full major league seasons, and he’s a solid enough defender at second base. The upside that made him the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 draft seems long gone now, but he’ll probably be a pretty useful regular for some team. As for the Rockies, Adael Amador is likely the future at second base. He’s probably not ready yet, though.
  • COL Left Fielder #16
    Hilliard performed well after getting the call in late June, hitting .239/.305/.507 over 158 plate appearances in his return to Colorado. It’d be for the best if he doesn’t have a big role for the Rockies next season, but he is more interesting as a reserve than Jake Cave.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #77
    Gilbreath settled for $25,000 more than the minimum after making just one major league appearance last season. The reliever had Tommy John surgery in 2023, and he went down with shoulder inflammation right after returning in August. He’ll contend for a setup role in the Colorado bullpen if healthy.
  • COL Catcher #25
    Stallings declined his $1.5 million mutual option for 2025, but the 34-year-old will remain with Colorado. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, e’ll instead get $2 million for the 2025 season while the mutual option for 2026 is also for $2 million with a $500,000 buyout. In 2024 he registered an .810 OPS with nine homers over 82 games, and he should see a similar amount of playing time with friendly home confines for 2025.
  • COL Left Fielder #73
    Among the most intriguing fantasy prospects added to 40-man rosters ahead of next month’s Rule 5 Draft, Veen caught fire in the late stages of last season, putting himself on the precipice of finally reaching the big leagues. The 22-year-old outfielder, who was selected ninth overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, batted .258/.346/.459 with 11 homers and 21 steals in 270 plate appearances last season across four minor-league levels. Veen’s power/speed combo at Coors Field is a recipe for five-category fantasy success, if everything comes together.
  • COL Relief Pitcher
    The 24-year-old right-hander had another rough season on the surface in 2024 — registering a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 31/17 K/BB ratio over 45 innings at High-A Spokane. He has some of the best stuff in the Rockies’ organization though and they’re hopeful that there’s a big breakout on the horizon.
