On Monday the Colorado Rockies and Oakland Athletics worked out a trade that will send Matt Holliday to the Oakland Athletics. The Rockies will be getting Greg Smith, Huston Street, and Carlos Gonzalez back from the A’s in exchange for Holliday.

This deal is decent but I was hoping for a little bit more for Holliday. Smith is a pretty wild pitcher that doesn’t serve well for Coors Field. Street is a good reliever that will need to fill in for Brian Fuentes who the Rockies let walk away. Gonzalez, 23, saw his first big league action last season and hit .242 with four home runs and 26 RBIs in 302 at-bats.

What do you think of the deal Rockies fans? Leave us a comment and let us know!
