What happened: Colorado sent Ryan McMahon to the New York Yankees and Tyler Kinley to the Atlanta Braves among three trades last summer. This year's activity began with Seth Halvorsen going to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two prospects.

Why it matters: A new front office has indicated that veterans and players on expiring contracts are available. Colorado also turned part of the McMahon return into Jake McCarthy, who could move again before the cutoff.

By the numbers: McMahon is batting .210/.270/.369 with nine homers and a 30.8% strikeout rate while sharing third-base work with Amed Rosario. Kinley's ERA rose from 0.72 in 25 innings after the 2025 trade to 4.23 across 38.1 innings this season.

What to watch: Watch whether Colorado moves McCarthy or another veteran before Monday's deadline.
