Rockies land Julien and Ohl to boost offense and pitching depth
Colorado Rockies acquire infielder Edouard Julien and right-hander Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins for minor-league RHP Jace Kaminska and cash, while clearing 40-man spots by trading Angel Chivilli and designating Yanquiel Fernández. Julien, a former 2023 rookie standout whose production has declined, provides infield versatility and a controllable timeline, likely at first or second base. Ohl, a 26-year-old with four-seamer experience and strong control, offers starting/relief depth with six years of club control. The trade addresses Colorado’s need for both position player depth and pitching depth as part of a broader front-office reshaping under Paul DePodesta. More to come as the Rockies rebuild.)
