The former MVP has signed a contract that will make him the Nuggets’ second free-agent signing of the summer, according to a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

According to major league sources, the Rockies have received phone calls about Quantrill but no firm offers yet.

Training camp gets long fast and then short quickly. The grueling part of the Broncos’ schedule is here. The team’s on the field 10 of 11 days through next week. At some point, it will undoubtedly feel like Groundhog Day. Still, waypoints are not far ahead. The pads come on Monday. Denver’s first preseason game is Aug.

Heading into the biggest fight of his life, Curtis Blaydes is ignoring all the naysayers.
