The Colorado Rockies acquire Ramon Ortiz from the Twins
The Rockies have acquired righty starting pitched Ramon Ortiz from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league infielder Matt Macri. Ortiz will move right into Jason Hirsh’s spot in the rotation on Saturday. He pitched in 28 games (10 starts) for the Twins this season and he was 4-4 with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. In 91 innings for the Twins he allowed 112 hits, walked 15 batters and whiffed 44. Getting Ortiz was a good move for the Rockies because the price was right.
