The Rockies moved closer to retaining top setup man Mike DeJean, but lost Triple-A pitching coach Bob McClure.
DeJean’s agent will make a counterproposal today, trying to bridge the gap over incentives in his contract after making strides in the base salary desired.
“Progress has been made,” DeJean said. “I wouldn’t say we are anxious, but we hope something gets done shortly.”
After seven years with the Rockies’ organization, McClure takes over as Buddy Bell’s pitching coach in Kansas City, the franchise that originally drafted him.
“I have waited a long time for this opportunity,” McClure said.
