US EditionInfielder Orlando Arcia Signs with the Colorado Rockies
- Infielder Orlando Arcia signed a major league deal with the Colorado Rockies on May 28, 2025, three days after his release by the Atlanta Braves.
- After appearing in 14 games with the Braves in 2024 and struggling with a.194 average, Arcia lost his starting role and was designated for assignment on May 23.
- Arcia appeared in 542 games with the Brewers before 2021, was part of the Braves’ 2021 World Series team, and was an NL All-Star in 2023 with a.264/.321/.420 slash and 17 home runs.
- The Rockies, holding a 9-46 record and the worst performance in MLB this season, offer Arcia a clearer path to regular playing time and the chance to play multiple infield positions.
- Arcia’s move to the Rockies suggests he aims to rebuild value immediately rather than accept minor-league deals from the Yankees and Mets, who both showed interest but offered lower-level contracts.
