The Colorado Rockies are nearing a deal to trade center fielder Brenton Doyle to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Mason Adams and infielder Carlos Vielma, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Francys Romero shows the full return. The move mark the end of Doyle’s four-year run with Colorado and gives him a fresh start with an exciting Chicago squad. Doyle Could Benefit From a Fresh Start Brenton Doyle slides for an RBI double in the fourth inning at Coors Field. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectDoyle established himself as one of baseball’s premier defensive center fielders early in his career, winning two Gold Gloves in his time with Colorado. But his offensive production has become increasingly inconsistent. Injuries and prolonged struggles at the plate prevented him from recapturing the form that once made him appear to be a franchise player for the Rockies. A move to Chicago would remove Doyle from an organization that has other young players in his position, and place him with the White Sox, a team willing to bet on his ability to rediscover his old form. The trade nets the Rockies a solid pitcher in Adams, who sports a 3.86 ERA along with 48 strikeouts this season, and a distant prospect in Carlos Vielma. The 16 year old is currently hitting .337/.507/.474 in rookie ball, it will be a long time before he is close to being major league ready, but his current production suggests there is serious potential. For the White Sox, they get a player who is hoping to fix his problems at the plate, and for the Rockies, they cash in and receive a solid pitcher and a prospect that they can monitor the development of.
