Rockies face competition for pitching help
The Rockies are facing competition in efforts to bolster their pitching staff.
Right-handed starter Tim Redding, non-tendered by Washington on Friday, has 10 teams showing interest, according to agent Tom O'Connell. Along with the Rockies, other teams include the Nationals, Baltimore, and the Mets.
Add Cleveland and the Mets to the teams competing with the Rockies for left-handed reliever Will Ohman, a graduate of Ponderosa High School who is a free agent. Left-handed starter Chris Capuano, whom the Rockies inquired about, was non-tendered by Milwaukee, but opted to stay with the Brewers, taking a minor-league contract and an invitation to spring training.
