Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Colorado Rockies are very close on signing a three year contract with prized free agent Jorge De La Rosa.

Details are not yet confirmed, but the Rockies have been firm in their commitment to a three year deal with De La Rosa. It appears the two parties are very close to an agreement.
