CBS Sports' Jon Heyman is already looking ahead to the potential moves that could be made across baseball around the trade deadline. He has compiled a list of 45 players he thinks are likely to become trade bait and includes several players from the Colorado Rockies. Here are his thoughts on Rafael Betancourt:
20. Rafael Betancourt, RP, Rockies: His name seems to come up every July, but it might be of particular interest now that so many teams have back-end bullpen issues. A caveat: The Rockies are historically a strong second-half team and might be reluctant to trade him.
