Rockies agree to deals with RHP Antonio Senzatela, slugger C.J. Cron
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (49) pitching against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first inning at Coors Field April 7, 2021.
New Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt didn’t waste any time making two major moves.
On Tuesday, the Rockies locked up groundball-inducing starter Antonio Senzatela to a five-year, $50.5 million contract extension, and re-signed slugging first baseman C.J. Cron to a two-year, $14.5 million deal.
Senzatela, 26, will earn $7.25 million in both 2022 and ’23 and then make $12 million from 2024-26. There is a club option in 2027 for $14 million.
Schmidt, who’d been the Rockies’ interim GM since early May, was named the permanent GM on Saturday.
