Sugano’s Final Start in Denver | Colorado Rockies News

Tomoyuki Sugano might be pitching his last game in Denver as the Rockies prepare to trade their ace before Monday’s deadline. In a solid six-two-thirds inning outing against the Royals, he allowed just one run at Coors Field — a notoriously pitcher-unfriendly park — while striking out batters and limiting damage to solo homers. Since returning from back spasms, Sugano has posted a 2.95 ERA in three starts, making him a hot commodity. Signed for $5.1 million on a one-year deal, his consistent performance and health make him a prime trade target as Colorado pivots toward rebuilding with younger talent. With a respectable 3.81 ERA at Coors, Sugano’s value is undeniable — but the Rockies may be willing to gamble on the future, even if it means parting with a proven winner.
