Rockies Acquire Jonathan Lucroy

By Jeff Todd | July 30, 2017 at 9:27pm CDT

The Rockies have officially struck a deal to acquire Rangers catcher Jonathan Lucroy, as Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network first reported (via Twitter). A player to be named later is going to Texas in return, per ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter). (Note: the PTBNL cannot be a 2017 draft pick.)

[RELATED: Updated Rockies Depth Chart]

Lucroy, 31, was connected to the Rockies earlier today. The veteran receiver will help bolster a catching situation that has been less-than-ideal all year long. While Tom Murphy was expected to play a major role, he missed an extended stretch due to injury and was optioned after struggling upon his return. Tony Wolters has been over-extended as a regular, and neither Ryan Hanigan nor Dustin Garneau has shown much during their time in the majors this year.

Colorado will hope that Lucroy provides a steadying presence, both in the field and at the plate. He’s earning just $5.25MM on the year — just over $1.8MM of which remains — before reaching the open market at season’s end, so his acquisition won’t make a major dent in the club’s payroll.

But for this move to succeed, Lucroy will need to engineer a turnaround. Through his 306 plate appearances this year, the veteran is hitting just .242/.297/.338 with four home runs. And the questions aren’t limited to the offensive side of the equation. Once the poster boy for pitch framing, Lucroy has rated as perhaps the worst framer in baseball in 2017.

That output falls far shy of his typical work. From the start of his breakout 2012 season through the end of the 2016 campaign, Lucroy ran up a .291/.353/.465 slash line — numbers more commonly seen from quality corner outfielders than backstops. He also developed a reputation as a top-tier defensive catcher, driven especially by his outstanding abilities in the then-underappreciated art of pitch framing.

Whether the veteran can bounce back will surely be interesting to see. He has struck out in just 10.5% of his plate appearances this year, though he’s also walking at a lesser rate (6.2%) than usual. He has surely been a bit unfortunate with a .259 BABIP, though that hardly explains the massive power drop-off (from a career .153 isolated slugging to a current .096 mark). And it is concerning that Lucroy is making far less hard contact (22.3%) and putting the ball on the ground far more (56.2%) than he has typically. With respect to the framing downturn, it’s anyone’s guess whether he can return to his prior levels, though perhaps there’s reason to think that Lucroy will excel regardless in the-less quantifiable aspects of his craft behind the dish.

For the Rangers, meanwhile, the move perhaps begins what could be quite a busy stretch. The club has been rumored to be preparing to move star righty Yu Darvish, and will surely be listening to offers on a variety of other players. Relievers Keone Kela and Jeremy Jeffress are said to be available, while pending free agent hitters Carlos Gomez and Mike Napoli likely are as well.

It’s disappointing, surely, for the Rangers to be overseeing a sell-off in the midst of a season that started with lofty expectations. But the club is also undoubtedly right not to double down on a roster that had too many questions. That said, with numerous core pieces under contract for the foreseeable future, the expectation remains that the Rangers will be focused on moving pending free agents while reloading for another run in 2018.

          The Rockies relievers are 24th in ERA and 17th in FIP. The Royals in 2015 were 2nd and 10th respectively. The only thing those 2 teams have in common is one pitcher in Greg Holland.

      Rangers are no where near contending. They don’t have any core players. Darvish is likely not to resign with them. Probably headed to NY or LA. They don’t have a good farm system so they’ll go into full rebuild.

      Usually the most impactful trades are not the biggest ones. Having a steady vet as a backstop will definitely help the young rotation, and the high elevation should help Lucroy’s numbers. That being said, their bullpen is great. Give that offense some room the breathe and they could be dangerous.

      The Rockies rotation is far from crappy . and his numbers will go up a little bit, but the Rockies lineup is solid anyway. A little tick from the catcher position will go far. and Lucroy’s framing statistics might go up when he’s back with national league umpires. and rox gave up nothing. it’s a decent rental

        By the way things look now, No, but the Rockies (if they make the playoffs) and Dodgers will both be 0-0 in October. Just because the Dodgers are having success now doesn’t mean they will in October.

        Ask any Mariner or National fan here about their postseason success. Or….ask the Dodgers themselves. Haven’t made it to the WS in almost 30 years.

          Some athletes hate to loose more then they love to win. It’s the competitive nature of athletes. Yes, they always want to do their best but just look at guys like David Ortiz. When the lights shown brightest was when he thrived. Carlos Beltran, Reggie Jackson, and many others were the same way. Not everybody does it but you can’t discredit the idea that some players thrive on the competition and winning atmosphere.

    In hockey, they have “conditional trades”. Ex- The Blackhawks trade a 4th round pick, but it becomes a third round pick if the player plays a certain number of games or the team advances to a certain playoff round, etc.

    I wonder if the PTBNL can be used for the same purposes in baseball.

    So, if Lucroy goes to COL and plays like he did in Texas, the Rangers get the Rockie’s #28 prospect, but if he plays well, they get the #16 prospect or something like that.

      The PTBNL can be used in baseball like that too. When the Indians traded Sabathia in 08 it was conditional on the Brewers making the playoffs. Because they made it Brantley was the player instead of guy it would of been of they missed the playoffs.

    This is going to sting the rangers. give up your top prospect last year for a rental. they can’t argue against teams not wanting to give up verdugo or torreyes for a rental darvish when the rangers are clear proof how horrible those deals can go.

      The Cliff Lee trade that led to a World Series appearance in 2010 was an example of the opposite. And the Rangers’ decisions to hold onto Mike Olt and Jurickson Profar past their peak trade value certainly didn’t pay off for the organization. It works both ways.

      The bottom line is there’s nothing inherently wrong with trading top prospects for short-term assets. It all depends on talent evaluation, player performance and prospect development. And all teams have good and bad examples to point to.

    How do you go from being the best framer
    To worse? Doesn’t seem like a skill that would diminish that greatly?

      It’s hard to frame pitches when the staff lacks control. Not going to get a lot of the benefit of the doubt from the umps.

      It’s a subjective stat.

      It’s why that stat is not taken as seriously yet. They just don’t have the right formula yet, if it exists at all.

      Being a former catcher, my guess is that he has some sort of wrist or thumb injury on his left hand. Framing pitches at that velocity and with the movement MLB pitchers have can hurt the wrist/thumb. So if those areas are tender, you tend to come around the pitch and get behind it with your glove, but that gives the appearance that the ball is out of the zone, when it may be borderline.

      That could also explain his diminished hitting stats over his career norms. Most people, myself included, thought that he would be a lock for 20+ dingers in Texas. I don’t know what goes into the pitch framing stat, but I agree that is not a skill that should diminish overnight without some other factor.

    Any chance at all it’s Vilade? Lucroy sucks but I want to hold out a tiny bit of hope that we’ll get at least something decent back after giving away Brinson and Ortiz for free

      No chance whatsoever. It cannot be a 2017 draft pick by rule.

    Nice trade for Colorado, I still think they need a SP and a bullpen piece to challenge for a wild card spot.

      They have a WC locked up – nobody catching them, as for the BP piece, they just got Neshek, also a great pick-up. Bettis is also coming back soon, and that’s as good as a trade for a starter.

      The WC sucks though, it should be a best of three….

    When he was with the Brewers he was an amazing leader on and off the field and we got a big return from Texas for him and jefferies. I am surprised the Rockies got him for a player to be named later. I think the Rockies are getting a steal on this trade.

    If this is the last minute clearance shopping price level for rentals between now and the deadline, there is no excuse for even bubble teams not to rent some pieces.

    Even the Pirates.

    Why would he go for just a PTBNL? He’s not that bad.

      Because he’s a pure rental having a bad season. There wasn’t any real demand for him.

      He’s been horrible this season. He had pretty much lost the starting job to Chirinos

      PTBNL are not always non-prospects. It just means they can choose from a handful of predetermined players at a later date. So they can watch these prospects for a few weeks or a month before making a decision.

    It’s been a long time since the Rockies had a good catcher. This is a good pick up and only a ptbnl.

      Neither of them were that good for the Rox either. Chris Iannetta is probably the best catcher in Rockies history IF you only include their time in Colorado. Has always been the weakest position for the team. Second base was weak too before LeMahieu.

    Even though Jeffress has an ERA over 5, if you look at his numbers in the NL over his career, he has a sub 3 ERA.

      He will do so much better calling his own game rather than listening to Brocail who will be fired in short order. the entire staff, hamels, Darvish etc despise his meddling. Dyson leaves and is thriving. buy low on our guys. they will bounce back huge. ugh. good luck to all the teams, I hope we fire Brocail soon
