What if opposing pitchers actually feared Rockies hitters again?

Maybe it’s Blake Street Bomber nostalgia.  Maybe it’s missing power hitters like Todd Helton, Carlos Gozález, prime Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story. Maybe it’s just wanting to have a fun, competitive baseball team again. But after each season, especially as Arenado and Story left town, I feel like it’s become my after-season tradition […]

The Rockies shake up their player development staff

With Paul DePodesta formally introduced as the new president of baseball operations for the Colorado Rockies, the team’s offseason can begin in earnest. The first task for DePodesta is a large undertaking: a top-to-bottom evaluation of the organization and potential seismic changes. “Let’s be candid: This wasn’t going to be the most traditional hire,” DePodesta […]

For the Rockies, winning at 5,280 might mean 9=12

In 2007, when the Rockies were riding a Rocktober wave to the World Series, the Tampa Bay Rays finished dead last in the AL East standings at 66-96.

Offseason Trade Target: Seth Halvorsen

Colorado Rockies closer Seth Halvorsen was drafted in the seventh round out of the University of Tennessee back in 2023 and pitched well enough in two months with the Rockies organization to earn two promotions, the second to Double-A. By August 2024, he was in the big leagues. This snowballed into a good amount of […]

Identity and culture is key for Paul DePodesta and the Rockies

When the Colorado Rockies announced Paul DePodesta as their President of Baseball Operations, I was admittedly a bit upset at the news. After all, he had been out of the sport for 10 years, and there is the argument that the Cleveland Browns are no better off now than when he joined them. Sure, blame […]

What to watch for in the early days of Paul DePodesta’s Rockies rebuild

This week is all about MLB’s General Managers Meeting in Las Vegas. While it’s probably safe to assume there won’t be much action in terms of signings and trades, the GM meeting is generally a space for setting the stage for what will follow in the offseason. Think of it as getting to know someone […]
