Free Agent Stock Watch: Jonathan Lucroy - MLB Trade Rumors

Lucroy's disappointing first half with the Rangers may be the Rockies boon a second time. Not only were they able to acquire him at the deadline for much cheaper than expected prior to the season, his struggles with Texas may also reduce his free agent costs.
