There are some pitchers who are unrestricted free agents out on the market right now. For the Colorado Rockies, who appear to be looking to retool their pitching staff, they might look and see who's available within their price range.

It might be a little difficult to sign a few of them, but right-handed pitcher Trevor Williams could add some veteran leadership to the ballclub.

So, who is Williams and where has he been in his career?

Williams played for two teams in the 2026 MLB season, the Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers. Williams was released by the Nationals on Aug. 30, 2026, then signed with the Rangers on Sept. 1.

Texas gave him a one-year contract worth $780,000, according to Spotrac. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Last season, Williams finished with a 2-0 overall record and a 3.14 season ERA. He pitched in eight games for Washington, then finished with seven more appearances while he was with Texas.

He's played 11 major-league seasons, according to Baseball Reference, spending his first five seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, then split time in 2021 between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets. Williams spent the 2022 MLB season with the Mets, then stayed with the Nationals for three-plus seasons. 

Williams has a career win-loss record of 55-65 and a career ERA of 4.42. He's appeared in 234 major-league games as an MLB pitcher, including 179 starts, 18 games finished, one complete game, one career shutout, and one save.

Williams was drafted in the second round of the 2013 June Amateur Draft out of Arizona State. He attended Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego.

Can the right-hander really come in and deliver some innings for the Rockies maybe as a fourth or fifth starter? Pitching coach Ethan Katz could look at Williams to be a bulk starter in games that Colorado chooses to have as a bullpen game.

Williams' Baseball Savant profile indicates that he leans on using a four-seamer most of the time, followed by a sweeper, a sinker, a changeup, and a slider. Opposing batters looking for what Williams throws best will keep their eyes on that four-seamer when they are at the plate.

He averaged 89.8 mph last season on the four-seamer, 78.4 mph on his sweeper, 88.4 mph on his sinker, 81.3 mph on his changeup, and 82.7 mph on his slider. That four-seamer mph is up a tick from where he was in 2025.

Any decision on whether Williams joins the Rockies or not will be made by the front office. They have a lot of work to do before Opening Day next season rolls around.
