What happened: A Yahoo "Rockies Reacts" fan survey asked whether Hunter Goodman should be considered a keeper, and three-quarters of voters said yes. The result lands as Colorado weighs its roster direction with the trade deadline approaching.

Why it matters: The vote underscores how central Goodman has become to the Rockies' lineup during a difficult season. With the club well under .500, fan sentiment to keep its home run leader signals how the base views the team's few building blocks amid deadline speculation.

What to watch: Watch whether the fan sentiment holds as the deadline nears and how Goodman's bat factors into Colorado's plans against Pittsburgh.
