The Colorado Rockies had a very frustrating 2026 season.
Colorado finished at the bottom of the MLB standings with an ugly 58-104 record. With this, they should be looking to add some new talent to their roster if they hope to be more competitive in 2027.
Now, with the offseason just getting started, a former Rockies outfielder has found his new home with the Atlanta Braves.

According to MLB.com, former Rockies outfielder Tyler Freeman has signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves.
“Atlanta Braves signed free agent RF Tyler Freeman to a minor league contract,” MLB.com reported.

The Rockies acquired Freeman from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for outfielder Nolan Jones back in March of the 2025 season.
From there, Freeman spent the 2025 and 2026 seasons with the Rockies. In 189 games over two seasons with the Rockies, he posted five home runs, 54 RBI, 24 stolen bases, and a .267 batting average.
Freeman’s best season with Colorado was in 2025. In 110 games, he had a career-best .281 batting average. He also had two home runs, 31 RBI, and 18 stolen bases.
Freeman had three home runs, 23 RBI, and a .247 batting average for Colorado in 2026. Then, Colorado optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque in September.
