Rockies Have an Interesting Veteran Free Agent Starting Pitcher Option
- Rockies consider veteran starter Dustin May for rotation depth amid a rebuild led by Paul DePodesta.
- Colorado finished 2025 with MLB-worst ERA at 5.97, underscoring the need for pitching upgrades.
- Dustin May has recent major-league experience after a Dodgers–Red Sox stint, seeking a prove-it season in 2026.
- May posted a 6-7 record with a 4.85 ERA in 104 innings for the Dodgers before his deadline trade to Boston.
- Colorado’s strategy centers on free-agent deals around $3.9 million AAV for potential upside.
- A one- or two-year contract could allow the Rockies to evaluate May’s fit and later trade value.
- The Rockies may not contend in 2026 but hope veterans can still impact the rotation.
- May could be a trade candidate at the deadline if he gains value early in 2026.
- The piece positions May as a low-cost, high-upside option for a rebuilding Rockies.
