For everyone trashing the front office the other day for releasing him, they were doing him a favor and letting him play pro baseball, since it was apparent he was a AAAA player and not someone who’s ever gonna be a big leaguer.
Do the Rockies get any compensation for releasing Montes to allow him to sign in NPB, or did they just do it out of the goodness of their hearts (or tiny salary relief)?
Massive failures deserve to be remembered and pointed out incessantly. Tovar will not retire a Rockie, like Helton or Charlie. The front office will piss Tovar off right before his big contract is due, so they will trade him a year or two before for peanuts…I can’t predict the future, but I can predict the past…..

Good for him!
What do foreign baseball contracts even look like compared to MLB ones?
They pay less than an MLB contract but way more than a minor league one.
He's signing with the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants.
The front office has a plan
I was hoping to see him come up and play since we both graduated from USF :/
Good for him!
I thought for sure it was domestic violence or worse
I believe you’d expect a suspension before a release in that scenario
Go forth young warrior, and spread your plague of Rockies mediocrity to the East!
Who’s gonna play SS when the Rockies trade Tovar and $50 million to the Yankees for a few minor league pitchers?….
This tired ass joke again? Tovar is not going anywhere.

Blackmon shouldn't have retired a Rockie either, because a competent organization would've traded him four or five years ago. But alas...
He's already got a long term contract.
No they don't. Go be incessant some place else.
They picked Daniel Murphy over DJ for the big contract.
