Reports put Wade Davis on the Rockies with a record deal:
On Friday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reported that Colorado had a deal in place with former Royals/Cubs closer Wade Davis. Jon Heyman of Fan Rag Sports and Passan reported that the deal is for $52 million over three years. The average salary per season of $17.33 million is the highest ever for a relief pitcher, Passan said.
Davis is perfect at Coors Field, if you consider three batters faced a good sample size.
The plan appears to be to resign Greg Holland as the closer, with Davis in the set-up role. If Holland is going to be the closer, he will likely want more money than Davis. That would be a great deal of dollars invested in two relief pitchers.
