On December 3, 2013, Morneau agreed to a 2-year, $14 million deal with the Colorado Rockies, pending a physical.
The deal became official on December 13.
Morneau became the first Rockies player since Larry Walker to wear #33 as it had been out of circulation, but not retired for Walker since he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004.
Morneau went on to have a solid year in Colorado, batting .319 on the season and claiming the National League battle title.
Morneau had a .310 batting average in 49 games with the Rockies in 2015.
