Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that the Rockies are “internally discussing” whether to pursue Jorge Cantu.
Cantu was given his release by the Angels after exercising the opt-out clause in his minor league contract. The 30-year-old played with the Rockies’ Triple-A affiliate last year and would likely serve as minor league depth if he returned to the organization.

Cantu exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with Anaheim after failing to earn a promotion during the first month of the regular season. He’ll presumably look for a role with another club.

Angels reassigned INF Jorge Cantu and OF Ryan Langerhans to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Cantu went just 11-for-44 this spring, failing to win a spot on the talented Anaheim bench. The 30-year-old will function as organizational infield depth this year.

Angels sign INF Jorge Cantu to a minor league contract.
He’ll also get a spring training invite. Cantu, who turns 30 later this month, batted just .194/.232/.285 with three homers and 16 RBI over 166 plate appearances with the Padres last season. The Angels have a bit of a logjam with their position players, so he’s likely a longshot to make the Opening Day roster.

He’d presumably get a minor league deal. Cantu, who turns 30 later this month, was released by the Padres last June after batting just .194/.232/.285 with three homers and 16 RBI over 155 plate appearances and finished the year with Triple-A Colorado Springs in the Rockies’ organization.
