Today, the Colorado Rockies announced that they had signed Tomoyuki Sugano to a one year, $5.1 million contract. (Evan Lang has an overview here.)
Later in the day, Jon Heyman shared more details of the signing:
All of this raises an interesting question: What number will Sugano wear as a Rockie?
Traditionally, he has worn 19, but that number has long been seen as synonymous with Charlie Blackmon.
Still, here’s Sugano’s announcement to day on X — and notice his uniform number.
So here’s tonight’s question for the Purple Row night owls: What number will Sugano wear, and is it okay for him to wear 19?
