When it comes to legends that have played for the Toronto Blue Jays, names such as Dave Stieb, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay and José Bautista usually come to mind. As for those that were Blue Jays but were legends predominantly with other MLB team during their careers, names such as Paul Molitor, Dave Winfield, the late Rickey Henderson and David Price would come up. In the case for the latter group, their legacies were usually recognized based on their teams with the most time they spent playing with.

On Tuesday the Rockies dropped a home game to the Giants, giving them their 100th loss of the season. Though the Rockies have never won a division title in their 33 seasons as a franchise - their postseason appearances in 1995, 2007, 2017, and 2018 came as a wild card team - one point of pride used to be that they had never lost 100 games in a season.

Brown was a third-round pick out of Indiana in 2021. Colorado left him exposed in last winter's Rule 5 draft, where he went unprotected. The 6'6″ righty has had a breakout minor league season that might've garnered him legitimate consideration in the upcoming Rule 5. Colorado was going to add him to the 40-man roster at the beginning of the winter regardless. They'll select his contract a couple months earlier to evaluate him over six or seven starts down the stretch.

The Rockies have released veteran lefty Austin Gomber, per a team announcement. (Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported the move just minutes prior to its announcement.) He was reportedly placed on outright waivers earlier this week. Given that he's now being released, it's clear he wasn't claimed. Colorado will give his 40-man spot to lefty reliever Lucas Gilbreath, whose contract has been selected from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The Dodgers swept the Padres, turning a one game deficit in the West into a two game lead, with starting pitching only allowing three runs in 17 innings.

Daulton Varsho hit a pair of two-run homers and a two-run double, leading Toronto to a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies with five home runs.

In a remarkable comeback, the Rockies secured a 17-16 victory after trailing 16-12, concluding with Brenton Doyle's walk-off, two-run homer in the ninth inning.

Ryan McMahon was traded to the Yankees, indicating the Rockies are actively selling players as the trade deadline approaches. Colorado is open to trading relievers, including Bird.

The New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sending two minor league pitchers in return.

Ethan Holliday has signed with the Rockies for a $9MM signing bonus, the largest ever for a high school player, exceeding slot value by $229K.

Brayan Bello struck out a season-high 10 in the first nine-inning complete game of his career, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 10-2 victory against Colorado.

"He absolutely has things he needs to work on. He needs to work on his efficiency and getting deeper into games and throwing more strikes early in counts."
