In any number of ways, 2025 marked an unusual year for the Colorado Rockies. They were historically bad (43-119); they fired their manager, Bud Black, early in the season; they promoted more prospects than they ever have; and now we wait as they begin the process of rebuilding the front office and the organization.

It breaks our hearts to pass along the news of a tragedy in the New York Yankees’ family on this sunny Sunday. Jesús Montero was one of the best prospects in baseball in the early 2010s and debuted with the Yankees in September 2011 at age-21. He really shined in his first cup of coffee […]
