Matt Holliday and the Colorado Rockies have settled on a two year, $23 million contract, with the hope of a long-term deal somewhere in the future. That's over a $5 million raise from last year to the next. The All-Star left fielder and runner-up for the 2007 NL MVP award (behind Jimmy Rollins ) batted .340 with 137 RBIs last season, becoming the third player since 1967 to lead a league in both categories.

The Colorado Rockies added two pitchers on Wednesday, agreeing to one-year deals with former first-round draft picks Kip Wells and Mark Redman . Wells, a 30-year-old righty, had a lousy 7-17 record with a 5.70 ERA for the St. Louis Cardinals last season, and is a career 64-91 in 231 career games with four different big league teams.

Matt Holliday celebrated a playoff-clinching victory at Colorado's Coors Field Saturday, but this time it was with the St. Louis Cardinals. Jason LaRue, in as catcher for the Cardinals' injured All-Star Yadier Molina, homered off Ubaldo Jimenez to break a seventh-inning tie and the Cardinals secured the National League Central division title with a 6-3 victory. "It didn't matter where it was," said Holliday, who spent 10 years in the Rockies organization. "I have a lot of friends over there...Read Full Story

The Colorado Rockies have recalled right-hander Josh Fogg from Triple-A Colorado Springs and designated righty reliever Matt Belisle for assignment. Fogg, recalled on Monday, signed a minor league contract on Feb. 2, 2009. He received a non-roster invitation to spring training before being assigned to the Sky Sox, where he was 3-1 with a 5.80 ERA in eight starts. He spent the 2006 and '07 seasons with the Rockies, winning 21 games. He had 10 victories in 2007 when Colorado reached the World...Read Full Story
