Jeremy Guthrie trade scenarios begin to percolate
The possibility exists that Jeremy Guthrie has thrown his last pitch for the Rockies.
Colorado is aggressively trying to trade the veteran right-hander and has talked with the Toronto Blue Jays. In that scenario, the Rockies would receive a minor-league prospect with Toronto absorbing the roughly $4.9 million million on Guthrie’s one-year, $8.2-million arbitration contract.
The Rockies have been looking to move Guthrie since his odd behavior and poor performance during his last Coors Field start against Oakland, when he tipped his cap twice to the crowd in the first and third innings, the latter after allowing six runs.
