Reacting to your Rockies trade proposals
The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline on August 3 is drawing ever closer. Over the weekend, the Colorado Rockies made clear which players are definitely available for trade, and it’s not a surprising list. Of course, anything is possible, and teams are likely still calling about other players mentioned. So, last Friday, I asked the Purple […]
Rockies come out on the wrong side of a sloppy game, lose to the Padres 8-7
Weird things happen when the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres get together, and tonight’s game was one of many such occasions in the history of this rivalry. The first of two in San Diego had it all. Terrible defense, many different pitchers, chair interference, multiple ejections from the Padres’ bench—including manager Craig Stammen—and finally […]
Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres OVERFLOW THREAD
It’s that time! It’s been a slow-moving, but eventful, game at Petco Park so far, as the the Rockies lead the Padres 4-3 as we enter the sixth inning. IT’S OVERFLOW THREAD TIME! Here are the lineups: Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres game discussion: Michael Lorenzen vs Michael King
It’s been a weird week of travel for the Colorado Rockies. They had a Thursday off in the first week of the second half, played a three game set in The Good Land against the Brew Crew, and after having yesterday off it’s time for a bizarre two-game series against the San Diego Padres. The […]
Zac Veen found the power without paying for it
The swing scouts wrote poems about in 2020 has finally shown up in a box score, and it arrived without the wreckage that usually accompanies it. Zac Veen (PuRP No. 9), in his second full season at Triple-A Albuquerque, is doing damage at a rate he has never approached as a professional. He is slugging […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, July 28
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on Monday, but it’s a new day, so we can all hope for action. As the day progresses, we’ll keep this tracker updated with the most pertinent rumors and […]
What is the Rockies “core” going forward?
Yesterday in The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon wrote about Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman’s questionable defensive skills and how they might affect his trade value going forward. We’ve talked about that quite a bit already, but I just have to say to those executives who want to move Goodman out of the catcher […]
Mickey Moniak makes impact both on and off the field for the Rockies
Whether it be on the field or in the clubhouse, Mickey Moniak has made his presence known in his two seasons with the Colorado Rockies. The outfielder—now in his seventh season as a Major Leaguer after stints with Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Angels—is slashing .277/.322/.553 this season, even though he missed nearly a […]

What should the Rockies do with Brenton Doyle?
Two years ago, Brenton Doyle was playing out of his mind. Outside of being in the middle of his second straight Golden Glove campaign, the Rockies center fielder was about to win National League Player of the Month honors for July. He hit .333/.394/.800 with an OPS of 1.194 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI, […]

It’s trade deadline season! The Colorado Rockies seem poised to make some moves this year, so we’ll be keeping daily track of all of the rumors and trades that happen around baseball. Keep it here for all the action!
Six weeks of “The Cole Carrigg Effect”
It’s been just over six weeks since Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) made his Major League debut. He has played in 39 games, and the “Cole Carrigg Effect” is in full swing. Carrigg has been known to play “with his hair on fire” and hasn’t shown many signs of slowing down in the big leagues […]
Going back in time through Rockies rosters
The Colorado Rockies feel distant from baseball’s oldest legends because, frankly, they should. The club didn’t take the field until 1993. Honus Wagner debuted in 1897 and last played in 1917. Satchel Paige’s career stretches back into an era that Major League Baseball spent decades pretending did not fully exist. Mickey Mantle belongs to baseball […]
The Rockies dreamed a dream that was dashed by ‘Les Mis’ in 11-2 loss to the Brewers
The Colorado Rockies played a game of two acts today — both dominated by the Milwaukee Brewers. They were barricaded early by Jacob ‘Les Mis’ Misiorowski, but were eventually brought down by a barrage of offense in the late innings. They mustered five hits — including two solo homers — but also struck out 15 […]
Colorado Rockies @ Milwaukee Brewers OVERFLOW THREAD
The Rockies were almost holding their own until the sixth inning when things went sideways on Jimmy Herget. But the Rockies like to arrive at the party late, and there’s a lot of game left, so you know what that means. OVERFLOW THREAD! Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Kyle Freeland vs. Jacob Misiorowski
In Game 1, the Colorado Rockies managed to come out with a win despite bullpen implosions on both sides. Tonight, they will look to take the series from the Cleveland Guardians. Starting for the Rockies is Kyle Freeland. This will be his 19th start for the Rockies in 2026. The lefty has a 7.28 ERA […]
This Week in Purple: Fans think Hunter Goodman will stay with the Rockies
The trade deadline is just around the corner — one week from tomorrow, to be exact! The Rockies have already begun their selling spree, trading Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ideally, there will be more trades. The players and their destination teams remains up for debate, though. The biggest debate seems to be […]
Rockies and Brewers traded blows, but Milwaukee deals Colorado an 8-5 loss with a big sixth inning
This game had all the makings of a prototypical 2026 Colorado Rockies outing. To their credit, they held their own against one of the league’s best teams in the Milwaukee Brewers. Colorado was in the mix early and found a way to rally late, but that middle portion is what did them in. The Rockies […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Ryan Feltner vs. Robert Gasser
The Colorado Rockies secured their biggest post-All-Star break win on Friday with a massive series-opening victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee was 5-1 coming out of the break prior to last night’s loss, compared to the Colorado’s 2-4 record in that span. Their records on the year are essentially inverted, with the NL Central leading […]
A fairer baseball economy could give the Rockies a real path
For most of my life, baseball was simply a game: a glove, a bat, a ball, and a field. I lived for Game 7 home runs and revered Cooperstown. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were larger than life, the Yankees were the Evil Empire and the Rockies were still new. I never thought of baseball […]
Purple Row After Dark: Put on your front office thinking hats
Trade season is upon us! With a little over a week to go before the August 3 trade deadline, it’s expected that the Colorado Rockies will be one of the more active teams as a bona fide seller. The Rockies have already made one notable trade, sending Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and […]
Rockies play the Brewers’ game in 5-2 series-opening win
The Colorado Rockies played the Milwaukee Brewers’ kind of game better than the Brewers did Friday afternoon. Colorado attacked Shane Drohan with hard contact, created pressure on the bases, and turned productive outs into runs. Tomoyuki Sugano used his seven-pitch mix to keep Milwaukee from settling into a comfortable look, while the bullpen covered the […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers game discussion: Tomoyuki Sugano vs. Shane Drohan
The Colorado Rockies (41-63) begin a three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers (64-38) with some daytime baseball on a Friday afternoon. Brewers legends will take the field after the real game for a postgame alumni contest — an idea the Rockies should feel free to borrow. This is the start of a quick road trip. […]
Will the Rockies avoid 100 losses?
As much as I tried to temper my expectations this season, the never-say-die baseball optimist in me took over. As the Rockies improved this season, with late-inning comebacks and exciting prospects, my hope grew. Instead of just hoping for a slightly better season and building a better foundation for the future, I got greedy. Now […]
