What happened

The Rockies aren’t exactly known as MLB’s best-run franchise.

Why it matters

But they seem to be getting the better of their deals with the Yankees.

Common ground

The trade where the Yankees sent 1B TJ Rumfield to Colorado for right-hander Angel Chivilli isn’t looking great, as Rumfield is starring early.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
