Colorado Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki is making headlines in New York City as a spectator at Yankee Stadium, but in Denver, there's no pressing reason for his team to trade him away, reports Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Given that [they don't have a money problem], there is no pressing reason for the Rockies to trade their big-money stars -- shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. If the Rockies entertain trading them at all, and for various reasons it's doubtful, it will be in the offseason.

So, according to club officials, the only circumstance under which the Rockies want to make a deal by the Trade Deadline is if it helps the Rockies contend next season. And, young pitching under club control will always be a top priority.

The Rockies are riddled with injuries to their lineup, and with most on the disabled list under contract for next season, the team might be expected to stay intact.

One possible option, notes Harding, is for Colorado to be "blown away" in a trade offer for left-hander Jorge De La Rosa. 

Several contending teams see De La Rosa as someone to help the back of their rotation. But when the Rockies asked for several of the Orioles' best young pitchers -- including righty Kevin Gausman, who is pitching in the rotation of that contending club -- it was clear the Rockies valued De La Rosa more than any other club did.

De La Rosa is currently on the club's radar to stay, and be offered a $14-million qualifying offer for next season to ensure draft pick compensation if he signs elsewhere as a free agent.

Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan tweeted that the New York Mets are prepared to offer top pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard in a deal for Tulowitzki. The Mets reportedly continue to reach out to the Rockies.

And the response is: Not yet. We’re not ready to deal him. We want to hear it from him.

Spelling his name wrong on a widely distributed promo item might be a good way to get the start shortstop to speak up.
