If your a Rockies fan living in Colorado, you woke to snow on the ground and what will likely be the team’s new first basemen for the next six years.

FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal broke the news this morning that the Rockies and free agent Ian Desmond had agreed to a multi-year contract, with reporters Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman later confirming that the deal is for five years and $70 million dollars.

There’s a sixth year club option, which would boost the value of the contract to six year’s at $83 million dollars if the option were to be exercised.

Reports are that the Rockies will attempt to move Desmond over to first, a position the shortstop/outfielder has never played.

So, what exactly are the Rockies doing?

Many had suggested moving Carlos Gonzalez to first base, which would clear space in a crowded outfield and fill the need at first, but this Desmond signing seems to have taken that off the table.

Still, Colorado currently has five outfielders worthy of everyday playing time.

The idea of trading Charlie Blackmon has been thrown out there, but reports are that it is unlikely at this time.

Gerardo Parra is another guy the Rockies could look to get off, but he’s still under contract through 2019, with $30 million dollars owed, and is coming off a down year, which means that his market is likely very limited.

Oh, and don’t expect to see the Rockies move David Dahl anytime soon.

Bottom line is that the Rockies are in a serious logjam, a logjam that just got bigger by choice.

Jeff Bridich isn’t ignorant to this. He obviously believes that Desmond’s athleticism and knowledge of the game is strong enough to play first base at the Major League level; he wouldn’t have pulled the trigger on the deal if he thought otherwise.

At the end of the day, the Rockies ended up with yet another solid bat to add to their already stacked lineup.

In the 23 games Desmond has played at Coors Field during his career, he has hit .379 with three home runs and 18 RBIs.
