But these are the Rockies, and they seem poised to move their talent at all times. My guess is the Rockies realize he's an attractive option, and are using their past history of dealing, to see if there's a playoff contender so desperate at the deadline, they offer a group of players GM Dan O'Dowd simply can't reject.

There are some flaws with the idea of bringing in Blake; he's never played left field (238 career games in right field), and he'll turn 35 this year. However, he's got an OPS of .828 this year with modest pop (11 home runs), and a .313 average against lefties this season. I don't think any Mets fans ...
