The Colorado Rockies have optioned catcher Adael Amador and second baseman Romo to the minors as they prepare for the upcoming MLB season. Romo had a challenging debut last year, struggling with a .176 batting average. Colorado re-signed Jacob Stallings, who had a productive 2024 season, but they may limit his workload to keep him fresh. Hunter Goodman has emerged as a strong contender during Spring Training, hitting .368, while Austin Nola, another catcher, shows promise on a minor league deal.
Romo and Goodman are the only catchers on the 40-man roster. Goodman has had the clear advantage in Spring Training, hitting .368 this season.
Stallings' career numbers suggest he's unlikely to replicate his best season. However, his defense and experience provide a steady presence for Colorado's pitching staff.
Romo made his MLB debut last season but struggled with a .176 average. His optioning to the minors underscores the team's strategy for the upcoming season.
Goodman's performance in Spring Training with a .368 batting average positions him as a favorite to share playing time with Stallings this season.
