The Rockies were encouraged by Brian Fuentes' agent's reception to an offer of a two-year deal with an option. Talks will continue. ... Even with the Royals pressing hard, the Rockies remain the favorite to land reliever Elmer Dessens since they are open to a multi-year deal. They will meet with his agent today. ... If Japanese catcher Kenji Jojima signs with the Mariners, the Rockies will make a run at Seattle backup Yorvit Torrealba.


Fuentes is a must resign to long deal. Dude is great. Dessens would be nice. Torrealba is alright, I think.
