Rockies Could Deal Giambi, Who Likes Colorado

Jason Giambi has assumed a leadership role with the Rockies and he's comfortable with the team, but that hasn't kept his name from trade rumors this month.

"That stuff takes care of itself. You start worrying about it, then you struggle, 'don't get traded' and you haven't helped your team," Giambi said.

"You can't worry about it. If it happens, it happens. It's like playing in your free-agency year. Just go play. But I love it here."

The 41-year-old will be a free agent after the season.
