Rockies $50.5 million pitcher predicted to draw trade interest from 'almost every' contender

The Colorado Rockies are going to be trade deadline sellers; there's almost no question about that at this rate. If there was one question, it would be who is actually going to be moved.

Mickey Moniak is a fascinating trade option, as he was on an All-Star pace this season, and very well might be dealt for a strong return this summer. But a different breakout star looks to be garnering the most interest.

According to MLB insider for Fansided.com, Robert Murray, $50.5 million Rockies reliever Antonio Senzatela is predicted to draw "extensive" interest in the trade market with "almost every" contender eying reliever help this summer.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela predicted to be of interest to almost every contender

"Almost every contending team looks for bullpen help at the deadline, and there should be an extensive market for Senzatela," Murray writes. "He will be playing elsewhere down the stretch."

After some rough seasons with the Rockies, Senzatela has turned the corner and is very much in the All-Star conversation.

He has a remarkable 1.30 ERA this season in 17 outings and across 34.2 innings pitched. Senzatela has become the best long reliever in the game right now.

His 367 ERA+ is by far the highest mark of his MLB career, with no other season going higher than his 151 ERA+ from back in 2020.

Senzatela is sure to draw significant interest this summer, and as a one-year rental, teams won't have to give up too much to get him from the Rockies.

But, since his market is expected to be so rampant, the Rockies should be able to bring back a strong return for a pitcher like Senzatela, whose 5.02 career ERA normally wouldn't be conducive to a decent return.
