Impact Martini managed a .912 OPS in 29 games for the Reds in 2023 and opened 2024 as their primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but he fell off to a .641 OPS across 52 contests last season and missed significant time due to thumb surgery. The 34-year-old will compete for a reserve outfielder role in Colorado.

Keston Hiura - Receives NRI from Colorado The Rockies signed Hiura to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hiura, 28, went 4-for-27 during his brief time with the Angels last season and sported a .943 OPS with 26 homers at the Triple-A level in 2024. It's conceivable that the former top prospect wins an Opening Day roster spot, but Hiura will more likely begin the year at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies avoid arbitration with Gomber, Feltner, Lawrence DENVER – The Rockies reached one-year deals with left-handed starting pitcher Austin Gomber, right-handed starter Ryan Feltner and righty re...

JANUARY 10 • MLB.COM

Justin Lawrence - Settles with Rox Lawrence agreed to a one-year contract with the Rockies on Thursday to avoid arbitration.

Impact The financial details of Lawrence's new deal are currently unknown. The 30-year-old righty struggled mightily in 2024, finishing with a 6.49 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 59.2 innings out of the bullpen. Playing his home games at Coors Field could be partially to blame for his poor performance, but fantasy managers would likely be better off staying away from Lawrence until he proves his solid 2023 campaign wasn't simply an outlier.
