Rockies GM Bill Schmidt makes minor changes to bullpen, but doesn't make any major moves at the trade deadline.

The Colorado Rockies decided not to make any major moves during the trade deadline. Instead, they focused on improving their bullpen by acquiring two new pitchers. While other teams, like the Marlins and White Sox, were busy making deals, the Rockies chose to stay quiet.

There were rumors that players like Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber, Elias Diaz, Jacob Stallings, and Brendan Rodgers would be traded. However, they all remain on the roster for now. Quantrill, Gomber, and Rodgers are still under contract until 2025, so there is a possibility they will be traded during the offseason. Stallings, on the other hand, has a mutual option for 2025, making his future with the team uncertain. Diaz, who is in the final year of his contract, was also a potential trade candidate but his value was decreased due to a calf injury.

The Rockies did make two trades leading up to the deadline, acquiring pitchers Bradley Blalock, Yujanyer Herrera, and Luis Peralta. Out of the three, Peralta is the most intriguing. The 23-year-old has had a strong season, with a 0.91 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 26 appearances. He has shown great potential since being converted from a starter to a reliever.

While the Rockies were relatively quiet, other teams like the Marlins and White Sox were very active. The Marlins, who are on track for a 102-loss season, made multiple trades, including sending closer Tanner Scott to San Diego. The White Sox, who are on track for a 120-loss season, also made some moves, including trading away some key players like Eloy Jimenez and Paul DeJong.

There is always a lot of speculation and excitement leading up to the trade deadline, but ultimately, it's up to each team to decide if they want to make any major moves. The Rockies chose to focus on improving their bullpen and will likely continue to evaluate potential trades in the future. As a fan, it's always interesting to see how these decisions will impact the team's performance in the long run.
