The Colorado Rockies are reportedly signing catcher Brett Sullivan on a minor league deal, adding another experienced player to their system. This move, along with seven other minor league signings since late November, indicates the teams focus on building depth.

The Rockies have also acquired several other players through minor league deals and the Rule Five Draft this offseason.

As the Rockies gear up for the 2026 season, they face a critical need for pitching depth, with questions surrounding their starting rotation and potential changes in their bullpen.

The bullpen, a potential strength, may see changes with the loss of Jimmy Herget and the addition of Antonio Senzatela, who had the highest ERA in MLB last season. The challenge lies in deciding who will make the 26-man roster, balancing the need for proven talent with the development of younger arms for the future.
