Then Colorado acquired infielder Edouard Julien and right-handed pitcher Pierson Ohl from Minnesota in exchange for minor league right-handed pitcher Jace Kaminska and cash considerations. Both Rumfield and Julien are left-handed hitters, something that Paul DePodesta said the Rockies need. Julien, who turns 27 in April, has experience at second base and first, both positions where the Rockies needed depth. Over the last two seasons, Julien bounced back and forth between the majors and the minors and is now out of options. Across five minor league seasons (2021-25), he was 24-24 with a 3.61 ERA, 373 strikeouts and a 1.13 WHIP in 90 appearances (60 starts).
