Purple Row after dark: Trade deadline speculation

With the 2026 MLB trade deadline fast approaching, rumors are beginning to circulate wildly.

Earlier this week, the Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-handed pitcher Nick Frasso and outfielder Landyn Vidourek.

I don’t think anyone expected the Rockies to move Halvorsen, but it’s another reminder that the Rockies have a new front office, and they are open for business. As general manager Josh Byrnes told media earlier this week, “We’ve got to do business with 29 teams.”

And in case you missed it, in his newsletter this morning, MLB.com’s Thomas Harding spelled out what the Rockies would be looking for in return for Hunter Goodman. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)

So given what we know now about teams contending for the postseason and those marked as sellers, including the Rockies, which players do you think the Rockies will be moving prior to the deadline? And feel free to speculate on where you think those players might go.

Let us know in the comments — and feel free to leave links to speculation reports.
