There is still room for one more Position Player. That would be anyone but Leury Garcia. He needs to leave and never come back. Payroll is right around. 100 million. Two bullpen guys who can spot start. Nate Jones is back eventually plus two seasoned veterans, not too old. (Sorry Matt Lindstrom)
Why would the Rockies let Cargo leave? 53 million reasons. They need that money to patch holes else where.
