A briefing on the Rockies’ arbitration players for 2027

The offseason will be a bit trickier for the Colorado Rockies this year.

That leaves teams with about a month to start […]

One peak Rockies shortstop, one impossible choice

The Rockies are done. The postseason is rolling, and until the World Series is over, the hot stove remains pretty cold. It is the kind of baseball lull that lets the mind of a Rockies fan start to wander. Mine has landed on one incredibly important question: If you could have one Rockies shortstop at […]

Scaling the Rocks: Walk-offs are awesome

Good morning, Rockies fans! Did you see what happened in Milwaukee yesterday? The Brewers were down 3-2 in the ninth, and after Andrew Vaughn flied out for the second out, their win probability had sunk to 17.6%.

Seattle Mariners claim Michael Toglia off waivers from Cincinnati Reds

The Michael Toglia Era in Cincinnati Reds history was short and sweet despite the man, who I’m sure is sweet enough, being anything but short. The 6’5” former 1st round pick of the Colorado Rockies spent the 2026 season within the Reds organization, plying his trade almost exclusively with AAA Louisville. As the injuries and […]

Mariners Claim Michael Toglia

The Mariners have claimed first baseman Michael Toglia off waivers from the Reds, per a team announcement. It wasn’t previously reported that Cincinnati had placed Toglia on waivers.

Scaling the Rocks: Remembering Rocktober

Good morning, Rockies fans! Back in 2007, the Rockies did the unthinkable. They punched their postseason ticket after a remarkable winning streak at the end of the season. They rode that winning streak all the way to the World Series. Then it all came crashing down. After a losing season and surrounded by other teams […]

The Rockies offseason shopping list

We don’t know for sure how much payroll space the Rockies will have available this offseason. We don’t know for sure how high ownership is willing to allow the budget to go, and and we don’t know how much their handful of arbitration-eligible players will end up making. We can, however, use historic precedent and […]

Greetings, friends! The postseason is officially underway after the first day of Wild Card action. The games were electric, but it’s also interesting to see how teams constructed their rosters.
