• Rockies' Tim Collins: Sitting out in 2020

  07/27/2020 • By RotoWire

  The Rockies announced Monday that Collins has elected to opt out of the 2020 season. Collins had been added to the Rockies' 60-man player pool in late June and was present for summer camp, but he failed to win a spot on the season-opening 30-man roster. Rather than waiting around at the Rockies' alternative training site for a potential callup to the big club, Collins will remove himself from the 60-man pool and pack it in for 2020. He's scheduled to become a free agent during the offseason.

  Collins will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp. Collins was in camp on a minor-league contract prior to the shutdown. He has plenty of big-league experience and could be called upon to pitch in low-leverage situations this season, particularly if and when injuries hit the Rockies' primary relievers.

  Collins signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Wednesday. Collins made nine relief appearances for the Cubs in 2019, but he spent most of the season with Triple-A Iowa, where he recorded a 4.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB across 27 innings. The 30-year-old served as the Royals' primary set-up man during 2013 and will have the opportunity to make an impression on his fourth major-league coaching staff this spring.
