Garrett Atkins Won't Be Released Friday When 40-Man Roster Set

Garrett Atkins’ future remains in limbo after the club told him that he won’t be released Friday when 40-man rosters set. Atkins is in final year of arbitration, and the Rockies aren’t going to pay him in excess of $7 million since he lost his starting job to Ian Stewart. Keeping Atkins on the 40-man roster for now gives the Rockies more time to trade him before the Dec. 12 non-tender date.
