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 […]

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.

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 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.
