Rockies trade RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers
On Monday afternoon, MLB Network insider and New York Post baseball columnist Joel Sherman reported that the Colorado Rockies are trading right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for two players. Halvorsen, 26, was a seventh round pick in the 2023 draft from the University of Tennessee. He had a very […]
Jake McCarthy is a key cog in ‘fun’ Rockies offense
Jake McCarthy readily admits that he enjoys being part of the Colorado Rockies ‘fun’ offense. “I just think it looks different every day,” the team’s leadoff hitter said prior to the Rockies’ season finale July 19 against Cincinnati. “I think we’re capable of putting the ball in play and, maybe, in a certain situation doing […]
5 Rockies storylines to watch in the second half
The Colorado Rockies have begun the second half of their season with a series loss against the Cincinnati Reds at home. Tonight, they begin a three-game set against the Washington Nationals and then set out on the road to face the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. There are 61 games left in the season, […]
Goodman sets franchise mark with another 3-home run game
Record-setting performances are becoming routine for Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies. Just five days after having appeared in his second consecutive All-Star game, Goodman etched his name in Colorado franchise history on July 19. The Rockies catcher slugged three home runs against the Cincinnati Reds in the finale of a three-game series at Coors […]
Hunter Goodman’s explosive day at the plate made Rockies’ 9-6 loss to Reds close
On a hot summer afternoon at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies were looking for their first series win coming out of the All-Star break. Unfortunately, they fell behind massively early in the game and had to spend the rest of the game fighting to come back. What’s important is that they almost did it. These […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds game discussion: Hunter Greene vs Ryan Feltner
The Colorado Rockies are 7-7 in the month of July, have 40 wins through their first 100 games, and are just three wins away from matching last season’s total number. The team is hoping the first of those three will come in today’s rubber match against the Cincinnati Reds, along with a series win to […]
In the second half, TJ Rumfield looked to pick up where he left off
As the second half of the 2026 MLB season unfolds, what will rookie TJ Rumfield of the Colorado Rockies do for an encore after a breakout opening half of 2026? If his performance on July 19 against the Cincinnati Reds in Colorado’s second series after the All-Star break is any indication, the first baseman may well […]

Rockies Reacts Results: Daniel Jackson has the edge
The All-Star Game and the MLB Draft are behind us. The Rockies drafted 21 total players over the course of two days, and have signed two undrafted free agents. You can keep track of all the action here. Earlier this week, we asked who was the best Day 1 pick for the Rockies. It was […]
A well-rounded team effort secures a 10-3 win for the Rockies over the Reds
When things are cool for the Rockies, they’re ice cold. But when things go well, they go great. Today was, thankfully, the latter. Multiple key defensive plays, resilient pitching across the board, and several batters with multi-hit games came through for a dominant win. After a less-than-ideal Friday night, the Rockies bounced back in winning […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds game discussion: Rhett Lowder vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
Despite a hot start to July, the Colorado Rockies dropped under .500 on the month with a loss to the Cincinnati Reds last night. In the first game back after the All-Star festivities, the bats were cold and the Rockies started the back half of the season off on the wrong foot. The Rox managed […]
With Goodman, Rockies are MLB’s most powerful catching team
The Colorado Rockies are a team in the midst of a rebuild. With this in mind, the staff at Purple Row thought it would be useful to revisit the “State of the Position” series that we ran in March to see where things stand. We’ve asked authors of the spring articles to re-evaluate their earlier […]
TJ Rumfield may have solved the riddle of first base for the Rockies

Hughes looks the part, but quiet Rockies fall 7-2 to Reds
Gabriel Hughes gave the Colorado Rockies a start they could win with Friday night. The offense did not do enough with it, and the bullpen could not keep the game close once he left. Hughes allowed two runs across 5.1 innings, but Colorado managed only six hits and no walks in a 7-2 loss to […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds game discussion: Brady Singer vs. Gabriel Hughes
Thank goodness Rockies baseball is back. The Colorado Rockies (39-59) return to action tonight against the Cincinnati Reds (43-52) at Coors Field after four days away for the All-Star break. The Rockies have not played since last Sunday, when their 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants brought a quiet end to the unofficial first […]

Amid a breakout, Kyle Karros has claimed third base as his own

Purple Row After Dark: Hunter Goodman joins list of big names as a multiple-time Rockies All-Star
The 96th Midsummer Classic has officially come and gone with the second half of the 2026 MLB season resuming in full swing tomorrow. With all the pomp and circumstance of the star-spangled festivities in Philadelphia, it felt like the Colorado Rockies’ sole representative was swept into the background. In fact, if you only followed the […]
Colorado Rockies announce 2027 schedule
Earlier this afternoon, the Colorado Rockies announced their preliminary 2027 schedule. Assuming there is no interruption due to negotiations between the MLBPAA and the owners, Opening Day is slated for March 25th. The Rockies are set to begin the year on the road once again, but this time they are on the West Coast, facing […]
The Rockies can no longer treat shortstop as settled
Shortstop was supposed to be one of the Rockies’ few settled positions. Ezequiel Tovar’s offensive limitations were obvious, but elite defense and extra-base power gave the profile a workable floor. His 2025 season offered reasons for patience. Hip and oblique injuries limited Tovar to 95 games and made it difficult to separate regression from compromised […]

Purple Row After Dark: What are your 2nd-half predictions?
Usually, making predictions is a great way for us to make fools of ourselves. Even speculating on the future can do the job, as the Purple Row community will see as the staff revisits and updates our State of the Position series this week from preseason prognosticating to midseason reflection and projection. That being said, […]

Weekly Pebble Report: A first half recap
With the Futures Game kicking off All-Star Week and the first halves in the books across the minors, it’s a natural moment to take stock of the Rockies’ farm system — level by level, from the thin air of Albuquerque down to the backfields in Scottsdale. The big-league club’s improvement has gotten the headlines, but […]
