Latest news and updates about the Rockies
It’s no secret that the Colorado Rockies starting rotation is close to empty. Four of the pitchers that occupied the team’s rotation at the start of 2026 are free agents, their highest potential young starter likely won’t be available until mid-season, and there is not an obvious wave of promising pitching prospects waiting in the […]
The New York Yankees fell short in their season-long bid to try to land an impact catcher. The biggest name that they pursued was Colorado Rockies slugger Hunter Goodman, a two-time All-Star with 72 home runs over the last two years. And boy, couldn't the Yankees have used him down the stretch with Aaron Judge out of the lineup for the postseason? The Rockies weren't going to give him up cheaply, and the Yankees knew it, offering their top prospect George Lombard Jr. in return in a...

The Colorado Rockies have to figure out how to pitch at Coors Field. Since the team’s inception in 1993, moving to Coors Field in 1995, installing a humidor in 2002, and throwing just about everything they can at the wall, a pitching formula for success in Colorado has eluded them. The pitching staff’s struggles, particularly […]
Todd Helton, a former first baseman and 2024 Hall of Fame inductee, spent all 17 of his major league seasons with the Colorado Rockies and easily established himself as the best player in franchise history. The only problem is that Helton hasn’t played since 2013, and the Rockies have struggled to find a consistent, long-term […] The post TJ Rumfield Deserves More Rookie of the Year Love appeared first on Just Baseball .

Good morning, Purple Row! The MLB offseason is all about trade rumors in a typical year, but with a looming lockout and an anticipated busy November, chatter is picking up. And the Colorado Rockie getting attention is catcher Hunter Goodman. (Hey, 41 home runs and three years of team control have that effect.) Remember all […]

One of the most surprising stories of 2026 was the rise of Rockies prospect Jack O’Dowd (HM PuRP). Originally undrafted out of the University of Texas, O’Dowd played a year of independent ball with the Billings Mustangs before signing with the Colorado Rockies in the 2026 offseason. Since then, he has torn through the minors […]

The Colorado Rockies didn’t give us much to celebrate in 2026, and with October baseball happening elsewhere, I’ve been relegated to staring at Rockies players’ Baseball Savant pages and rewatching old game footage. Since I’ve already spent an unreasonable amount of time doing exactly that, I figured we might as well hand out a few […]
Good morning, Rockies fans! Major League Baseball is apparently interested in giving us a little less baseball. On Thursday, MLB unveiled its latest proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement, including a reduction of the regular season from 162 games to 154 beginning in 2029. The 154-game schedule was once baseball’s standard, before the American […]

Outside of losing 100 games again, another negative trend continued for the Colorado Rockies in 2026. With the fourth-straight season of 100 or more losses in the books, the Rockies also logged their worst season of attendance since 2006 this year (not including no fans in 2020 and a fan-limited 2021 because of COVID). In […]
If you want to take a glass-half-full approach with the long-struggling Rockies, they won 15 more games in 2026 than they did last year. If you want to take a glass-half-empty approach, they went 6-18 in September and clinched the majors’ worst record (58-104) for the second straight season. Colorado has lost triple-digit games four […]
A trio of former big leaguers reached the open market earlier this week. They head to free agency in search of another opportunity in the majors next season.
