Rockies Starter Unlikely To Sign Contract Extension
The Colorado Rockies have the chance to hit a new franchise low this season. With only 38 wins on the year, it has been clear for a few months now that this team needs some major help with both their offense and their pitching staff.

Even with the Rockies trembling, Quantrill has been the team’s most valuable pitcher, and always gives the team the best chance to get a win. Unfortunately, barring an unlikely extension, it seems Cal Quantrill won’t be staying with the team for long, as the Rockies may end up trading him before the MLB Trade Deadline.
