Rosenthal's Latest: Rockies Could Trade Holliday
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
In Ken Rosenthal's latest column, he sees Matt Holliday as a prime candidate to be traded this summer. Rosenthal notes that the Rockies are already 10 games back and have very little chance of signing Holliday to an extension. Holliday is signed through '09 with $13MM due next season.
Previously, Rosenthal speculated
that the Rockies might be willing to go to 6 years/$96MM to keep last
year's NL MVP runner-up. However, all we know of Holliday's demands are

Rosenthal thinks that the Rockies could also seek to move Brian Fuentes and Garrett Atkins. Fuentes is eligible for free ...

Rockies Would Be Smart to Deal Holliday
Baseball Digest Daily —
FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports that the Colorado Rockies “almost certainly would consider trading [Matt] Holliday,” their left fielder and runner-up in NL MVP voting last season. They would be smart to trade him if they feel they have no shot at winning the NL West. However, if the Rockies win three of their next five games starting tonight, that would leave them at 18-27, exactly where they were after 45 games last season when they went on to win the NL pennant. Simply put, Matt Holliday is overrated. He’s a product of hitter-friendly Coors ...

Don't Trade Holliday
Jorge Says No! —
... If the Rockies are serious about trading Matt Holliday like the reports state, then they are about to make a huge mistake. I understand all the reasons to trade Holliday: free agent after 2009, wants a huge contract. That thought process is very logical: there is no way in hell that Holliday will sign with us so we better try to get what we can for him now." If that's what GM Dan O'Dowd is thinking, then that's great, I understand. ...
