COL/CIN

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Rockies trade:
2B, Jose Altuve ($35m in '21, FA in '22) - $22.2m covered in '21.

Reds trade:
2B, Starlin Castro ($12.5m in '21, FA in '22) - for cap
SS, Nick Gordon ($300k) - 1 of 7
CIN 2022 3rd
CIN 2022 6th


Rockies confirm.  Was really hoping to keep Altuve, but couldn't find a way to get to enough cap space.  At least getting a some value back for his reasonable tag rights/COMP B pick.

Reds Accept. We have a ton of depth at SS in the minors and Altuve gives us a higher scoring veteran presence in the lineup to pair with our young core. Good deal, Alex!
