Searching for some veteran depth in its infield and a boost to its anemic offense, the Rockies signed shortstop Orlando Arcia to a major league deal on Wednesday.

It appears that Colorado's front office wanted a more steady veteran backup for their shortstop of the future, hence Arcia's impending arrival.Arcia, 30, got his start with the Milwaukee Brewers back in 2016.

Recently released Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia opted to join the 9-46 Rockies on a major-league deal rather than sign minor-league deals with the Yankees and Mets, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported. There are obviously a few factors into why Arcia would head to the Mile High City rather than hope to work his way onto the Yankees’ or Mets’ benches.
