Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that the Rockies are "internally discussing" whether to pursue Jorge Cantu.
Cantu was recently 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.

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 signed 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.
