The Colorado Rockies have been quiet through the early stages of the offseason, but that doesn't mean the club isn't receiving plenty of phone calls from rival teams.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, outfielder Corey Dickerson is generating "massive interest" around the league after hitting .312/.364/.567 with 24 home runs over 131 games last season, but the Rockies would need to be overwhelmed to trade him.

Dickerson took over as the club's primary left fielder after Carlos Gonzalez first landed on the disabled list in June, and proceeded to enjoy one of the finest offensive campaigns in the majors. Though his performance at home was likely inflated by the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field, the 25-year-old still finished ninth among outfielders with a 140 wRC+, a metric that adjusts for park effects (minimum 400 plate appearances).

Dickerson, an eighth-round draft pick in 2010, also remains under team control through the 2019 campaign and has experience in center field at the major league level.
