When the World Series concludes and the offseason officially begins, it’s hard to predict how the market will progress before a presumed lockout at the start of December. The free agent market could especially be slow as owners push for a salary cap and teams may be hesitant to commit to players before they know […]
Entering this season, only five teams had never won a World Series: the Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, and Colorado Rockies. The Brewers already had to go through one of those teams to get to this point, defeating the Padres in four games in the NLDS. They then took out […]
Last week, Rawlings announced their 2026 Gold Glove Finalists. Perhaps surprising to some (but not Colorado Rockies fans) was the inclusion of Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield along with Matt Olson and Ty France. “It’s not easy to do in your first year,” said Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer via a phone call last week. Of […]

The Yankees didn’t do much to upgrade their bullpen last winter. They brought in veteran Ryan Yarbrough on a small deal. Angel Chivilli came over in a trade with the Rockies. David Bednar was back as closer after coming over at the 2025 trade deadline, but the club was losing Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, and Jonathan […]
The Giants are among the big league teams who have scouted Hiromi Itoh and Kaima Taira, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The Japanese right-handers are expected to be posted for MLB clubs this offseason, even though the impending lockout will sure interrupt their 45-day posting window unless a deal is reached between […]
The Colorado Rockies need pitching. Lots of it. Finding it won’t be easy. Established free agents can be expensive, assuming the Rockies can convince them to pitch at Coors Field. The draft offers another avenue, but even successful picks typically need years of development. Trades, meanwhile, offer an opportunity to acquire pitchers who could contribute […]
Good morning, Rockies fans! The Milwaukee Brewers have an answer for everything. They’ve cruised through the first two rounds of the postseason at 7-1, even overcoming a 4-0 deficit to defeat the Dodgers 6-4 in Thursday’s NLCS clincher and reach the World Series for the first time since 1982. And they’re getting contributions from the […]

As the Rockies try to claw their way back to winning, there has been lots of discussion about how the organization needs to follow the example of the Chicago White Sox, who went from 102 losses in 2025 to the playoffs this season. President of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and manager Warren Schaeffer have both talked […]
The Colorado Rockies have begun their offseason with a change to their coaching staff, firing pitching coach Alon Leichman after just one season, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Keith Law reported Thursday.

According to reports by Ken Rosenthal and Keith Law of The Athletic, the Colorado Rockies have chosen to part ways with pitching coach Alon Leichman after just […]
The Rockies have parted ways with pitching coach Alon Leichman, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Keith Law. Leichman held the position for just one season, as the Rox only hired the 37-year-old last December.

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 […]
