What happened: The Rockies have already made one trade ahead of the August 3 deadline, sending Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Colorado president of baseball operations Josh DePodesta has said the club has no mandate to move anyone else before the deadline, even as the team sits well out of contention.

Why it matters: A last-place club making even one deal signals the front office is open to further moves if the right offer comes in. DePodesta's public stance leaves the door open without committing Colorado to a full teardown before August 3.

What to watch: Colorado has just over a week to finalize any additional trades before the August 3 deadline.
