The Rockies’ bullpen remains a fluid situation as the team negotiates with top setupman Rafael Betancourt. While it’s unclear whether Betancourt will be back and at what price — the team has approached him about a multi-year deal — Josh Fogg won’t be.
Fogg confirmed Saturday that the team has told him that it is moving in a different direction. Fogg worked as a longman in the bullpen after earning a midseason promotion from Triple-A. He posted a 3.74 ERA in 24 games. He’s a popular figure among teammates, and he was a key member of the 2007 World Series club.
The Rockies have a week to decide whether to pick up Betancourt’s $5 million option.
Last week, the Rockies acted quickly in securing bullpen depth, signing relievers Matt Belisle and Randy Flores.
“I am excited about the opportunity and the team’s chances of making another World Series run,” Flores said.
