Orlando Arcia passed on Yankees, Mets chances to sign with Rockies
NY Post
There apparently is at least one player who wants to join maybe the worst team ever.
Recently released Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia opted to join the 9-46 Rockies on a major-league deal rather than sign minor-league deals with the Yankees and Mets, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
There are obviously a few factors into why Arcia would head to the Mile High City rather than hope to work his way onto the Yankees’ or Mets’ benches.
There is seemingly a clearer path toward consistent playing time with the Rockies than the Yankees or Mets, with Colorado second baseman Adael Amador posting just a .465 OPS.
The Rockies have established starters at third base and shortstop in Ryan McMahon and Ezequiel Tovar, respectively.
Even if Colorado opts to start a younger player over Arcia in a look to the future, its depth is not on the level of the Yankees and Mets and Arcia could stick on the bench.
