Rockies Rumors: Herges, Torrealba

By Tim Dierkes [November 22, 2007 at 10:26am CST]

Troy E. Renck has the Rockies hot stove buzz, as usual.

The Rockies are close with reliever Matt Herges, but other teams remain in the mix. It's known that Herges wants a two-year deal and the Brewers are interested.

The Rockies are also making progress on a deal with catcher Yorvit Torrealba. The Mets saw something they didn't like in Torrealba, so he's come back to the Rockies to talk. Renck says the Rockies had previously offered two years and $7MM with a vesting option for 2010 (seems reasonable). Now they might be able to get him without guaranteeing that third year.

Renck says Kaz Matsui may sign with the Cubs or Astros next week. Matsui has priced himself out of the Rockies' range.

Tim , regarding torrealba , what kind of backup catcher do you see the red sox looking at? i know laird has been rumored , but would 2 yrs 8.5 mil for torrealba be unreasonable if the guy could backup varitek and hit 260/330 and maybe hit 10 jacks??
