Rockies acquire Lopez for Alex White and a minor-league pitcher.
10:01pm: Troy Renck:
I expect Rockies to land Lopez...teams ironing out last few wrinkles.
9:53pm: Brian McTaggart:
Wilton Lopez to the Rockies. More to come.
9:26pm: Troy Renck:
Rockies would look to send two young pitchers to Houston for Lopez, a proven setup man. Parker Frazier would not be in deal.
9:11pm: Troy Renck tweets:
Rockies closing in on acquiring Wilton Lopez from Astros. Know that the Astros like AA pitcher Parker Frazier.
7:51pm: Troy Renck:
Rockies continue looking to add relief help and have talked with Astros about Wilton Lopez. If health fine, and told is OK, he'd help.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
