The Todd Helton trade that never happened and Boston & Colorado collaborate on the start of Moneyball
Description
There’s a lot of bittersweet history between the Rockies and Red Sox, much of which stems from the 2007 World Series. But several other games stand out for Colorado when facing off against Boston. What does Kyle Freeland remember from that Chris Sale Game in 2019? Who got Pesky Poled by Rafael Devers at Fenway Park?
Todd Helton’s contract was nearly dumped by the Rockies ahead of the 2007 season. What would the deal have brought back to Denver and how could history have changed forever? (Is this the only example of the Rockies trying to save money?)
Plus, the Marco Scutaro trade that haunted the Rockies, Colorado’s 20-year-old who could make top 100 prospect lists this year and Moneyball gets started with a Rockies-Red Sox trade.
