Colorado Rockies acquire Marco Scutaro
Posted by: | Comments
The Colorado Rockies have acquired Marco Scutaro from the Boston Red Sox for Clayton Mortenson, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com reports (Troy Renck of the Denver Post reported deal was close first).
Both sides had been talking about the deal for the last few days with one of the issues being how much of Scutaro’s $6mm salary Colorado would take on which now appears to be all of it.
The deal may pave the way for Boston to sign Roy Oswalt as they were looking to shed payroll to sign him.
Scutaro posted a career high .299 avg in 445 plate appearances last season.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe notes that Nick Punto and Mike Aviles will likely platoon at shortstop instead of bringing up defensive wiz Jose Iglesias from the minors initially at the start of the season.

Rockies sign Jamie Moyer
Posted by: | Comments
The Colorado Rockies have signed the oldest man in the world Jamie Moyer to a minor league deal, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports. The deal includes an invite to Spring Training.
Moyer missed the entire 2011 season due to Tommy John surgery.
The guy who is older than eight active managers in the Majors, went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA in 111.2 innings with the Phillies in 2010.
Moyer who is 49, is not the oldest player to play the game. That honor belongs Satchel Paige who was 59. In 1965, he signed a one-day contract with the Kansas City Athletics. On September 25, he took the mound against the Boston Red Sox allowing only one hit in three innings (info obtained from wikipedia).

Rockies in advanced talks with Cody Ross
Posted by: | Comments
The Colorado Rockies are in the advanced stages of negotiations with free agent outfielder Cody Ross, Buster Olney of ESPN reports. If the Rockies do sign Ross, it would help provide depth if they still plan on moving Seth Smith, like it has been rumored most of the offseason.
Smith is projected to make about $2.6 million in 2012 as an arbitration-eligible player and with the Rockies looking to add young-but-experienced pitchers, Smith may be sacrificed by the team.
Ross made $6.3mm last season in his last season of arbitration with the Giants. Ross hit .240 last sesason and played in only 121 games.
