Less than a week before Opening Day 2025 and the Colorado Rockies are making significant changes to their roster. OF Nolan Jones has been trade back to the Cleveland Guardians, the team that drafted him out of high school in 2016 MLB Draft. In return, the Colorado Rockies receive IF/OF Tyler Freeman.

What were the origins of this trade? Why does it make sense for both sides? And does this mean Zac Veen is a lock for the Opening Day lineup in Tampa?

Plus, the other notable move by Bud Black's club in sending down a top prospect to minor league camp. Will we not see him for the rest of 2025?
