The Colorado Rockies announced Tuesday that they have agreed to a two-year extension with outfielder Mickey Moniak.
The deal is worth $16.25 million, according to MLB.com.
Moniak, 28, is batting .277 with 18 homers and 49 RBIs in 75 games in his second season with Colorado. Since June 1, 2025, his .577 slugging percentage is second in the majors and his .901 OPS ranks fifth.
Moniak’s named was mentioned in trade speculation prior to Monday’s deadline but he was extremely pleased to be staying in Denver.
“To be a part of a resurgence of Rockies baseball here in Denver and to bring winning baseball back to Colorado truly would mean the world,” Moniak said.
Moniak was the No. 1 overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2016 draft. He has played in 485 big league games with the Phillies (2020-22), Los Angeles Angels (2022-24) and Rockies.
Last season, Moniak set career highs for homers (24) and RBIs (68) while batting .270 in 135 games for Colorado.
“Mickey’s an important part of what we’re doing here,” president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta said. “He had a very good year last year. He’s been off to a great start this year. Unfortunately, he missed a little time with the (right ankle) injury, but he’s a legitimate, middle-of-the-order bat for us. He’s a leader in our clubhouse. He’s a veteran who’s been around a little bit longer.”
The Rockies have not finished with a winning record or made the playoffs since 2018.
Overall, Moniak is batting .249 with 74 homers and 222 RBIs in 485 career games.
