Will Rockies Have Buyer’s Remorse With This Veteran Outfielder?

The Colorado Rockies entered the 2026 Trade Deadline as clear sellers with plenty of ammunition to offload. Two likely veterans to be dealt were outfielders Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak , who had put together very solid seasons with Colorado up to that point. But Colorado elected to keep both players, citing that they did not receive the value they felt was worthy of Moniak or McCarthy. In Moniak’s case, he was immediately extended to a two-year, $16.25 million contract extension.
