Purple Row after dark: Trade deadline speculation

|
By Renee Dechert Verified

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.

So many hits! But the Rockies outlast the Nationals, 8-7

It was a hot night at Coors Field with a hard-hitting Washington Nationals team ready to pick up where they left off on Monday night. But it was not to be as the Colorado Rockies offense came to play tonight. Despite a less-than-stellar performance from Michael Lorenzen, the Rockies were able to keep up with a hot Nationals team and tally the win, 8-7.

Washing Nationals @ Colorado Rockies game discussion: Carson Palmquist vs. Michael Lorenzen

By Renee Dechert Verified

In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies (40-62) were thoroughly beaten by the visiting Washington Nationals (51-50). Tonight, they will look to take Game 2 and even the series. Starting for the Nationals is old friend Carson Palmquist. (Read his 2025 "Ranking the Rockies" here.) This will be his 16th appearance for the Nationals. During that time, the lefty reliever has 9.2 IP and a 6.52 ERA. He has struck out 12 and has a 1.45 WHIP. Presumably, Palmquist will be acting as an opener for the Nationals.
