The Colorado Rockies are interested in bringing back reliever Adam Ottavino after the right-hander enjoyed his best season in the majors last year, but they will have some competition from at least two other teams.
Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox have shown consistent interest in Ottavino this offseason.

Ottavino, 33, posted a 2.43 ERA in 75 appearances with the Rockies last season. He recorded 34 holds and emerged as one of the better setup men in baseball, so he will most likely end up with multiple offers.
Even though Ottavino felt like he was overlooked with the All-Star Game this year, it’s clear plenty of teams took note of his career-best season.
