08:18 AM ET 06.19 | With speculation that Coors Field has gotten to him, Jeremy Guthrie may be on the move. The possibility exists that [Guthrie] has thrown his last pitch for the Rockies. Colorado is aggressively trying to trade the veteran right-hander and has talked with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to two major-league sources. In that scenario, the Rockies would receive a minor-league prospect with Toronto absorbing the roughly $4.9 million on Guthrie's one-year, $8.2-million arbitration contract. The Rockies have been looking to move Guthrie since his odd behavior and poor performance during his last Coors Field start against Oakland, when he tipped his cap twice to the crowd in the first and third innings, the latter after allowing six runs.

Sometimes it doesn't work. Look at Pavano in NYC. Hopefully Guthrie can find a new, more congenial home and the Rockies can get something in return. Meanwhile, this is unraveling before our eyes.

I just don't think he likes putting on that Rockies uniform period because he pitch in Detroit this weekend and got bomb again.

His days in Denver are over and will probably be passed up by any of the Blue Chip Teams, da guys a Head Case!

Pitching in Denver is a little different than NYC...

If he wants less pressure, there aren't many cities more laid back than Denver...

San Diego? Seattle?

I think he is through. He had been terrible with the O's for the last 2 years. Looks like we got the beat of that deal!
