Rockies rally comes up short in 13-9 loss to Rays
The Rockies pieced together a decent late rally, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an eight-run deficit on Monday night at Coors Field. The game capped off an action-packed day that included the Rockies trading Brenton Doyle, Antonio Senzatela and Victor Vodnik. This one got out […]
Colorado Rockies pursuing two-year extension with Mickey Moniak
Thomas Harding of MLB.com is reporting that the Colorado Rockies are nearing a two-year extension with outfielder Mickey Moniak. A former first overall pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016, Moniak struggled to find his footing in his first few big league seasons. He was eventually traded by the Phillies to the Los Angeles Angels, […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Tampa Bay Rays game discussion: Ian Seymour vs. Michael Lorenzen
There’s nothing like waiting until the last minute, and that’s exactly what happened on an action-packed day across the MLB as the trade deadline came and went at 4 p.m. MDT on Monday. The Rockies waded into the chaos, making three of their four trades in the final hours on Monday, but didn’t end up […]
Rockies 2026 Trade Deadline Grades: Solid moves, but an underwhelming day
The first trade deadline under Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes has come and gone. Primed to be sellers, the Rockies managed to move a couple of players, but longtime fans of the club may be a bit disappointed about the overall activity, or lack thereof, for a team fighting to avoid 100 losses. I’ve done […]
Rockies reportedly trade Victor Vodnik to the Miami Marlins
Only a few moments before the trade deadline Jeff Passan reported a deal that would send Rockies reliever Victor Vodnik to the Miami Marlins. Vodnik had been with the Rockies since being traded from the Atlanta before the 2023 trade deadline. The hard-throwing right-hander has shown glimpses of closer-like stuff but has struggled with consistency […]
RHP Antonio Senzatela traded to the Milwaukee Brewers
It has been reported that the Milwaukee Brewers are working towards acquiring right-handed pitcher Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies prior to today’s MLB Trade Deadline. The move was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It was also reported by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The move has since been made […]

Early reporting this morning from Francys Romero indicated that the Colorado Rockies were in discussions with multiple teams, including the Chicago White Sox, about a trade involving Brenton Doyle.

It all comes down to today at 4:00 MDT. General managers will put down their phones, those final transactions will process, and we see where everyone has landed.

Chase Dollander provides updates on his recovery from internal brace surgery
While attention right now is focused on what the Rockies might do today at the trade deadline, the weekend found a key part of the Rockies future, Chase Dollander, rejoining the Rockies at Coors Field for the homestand.

Purple Row After Dark: July Players of the Month
July has come to a close and there are just two months left in the 2026 MLB season. The Rockies are 45-67 and on pace for a final record of 65-97. July featured the All-Star Game, which saw Hunter Goodman participate for the second year in a row. It has also featured the lead-up to […]

The Rockies ride Kyle Freeland’s first complete game to a sweep in 8-1 win over the Royals
It was one of the hottest first pitches on record in Coors Field history as the Colorado Rockies took to the field looking for their first sweep of the second half against the Kansas City Royals. The Rockies rode a six-run sixth inning in tandem with a vintage Kyle Freeland start in order to cement […]

There’s still a lot of baseball left, so it’s OVERFLOW THREAD time! Here are the lineups: Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Seth Lugo vs Kyle Freeland
Who would have thought a meeting between two of baseball’s worst teams this season would result in a pretty fun series? On Friday we saw Tomoyuki Sugano deal in his best start of the season–and what might have been his last start in a Rockies uniform with the deadline fast approaching–while last night we watched […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, August 2
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week. But last night while the Rockies were celebrating their 12-6 win over the Kansas City Royals, the Los Angeles Dodgers made the move: Look […]
Fans think the Rockies will be active at the 2026 trade deadline
The 2026 MLB trade deadline is about 34 hours from now, and the Rockies haven’t been super active yet. They traded Seth Halvorsen to the Dodgers, but have stayed pat otherwise. Some of that, though, might be that they are asking a (rightfully) large return for Hunter Goodman. Additionally, the stove has been lukewarm all […]
Rockies erase an early deficit for a 12-6 win over the Royals to take the series
The Colorado Rockies snagged victory number 43 on Friday night with a 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals, already matching their win total from the entirety of the 2025 season. As he’s done time and again, Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) pitched a gem and stymied the opposing team to kick off a series. That […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals OVERFLOW THREAD
It’s been a busy night at Coors Field! The Rockies lead 8-4 after being down 4-0, and being held without a baserunner, at the top of the third inning. They scored six in the bottom of the third, and Lane Thomas was traded to the Atlanta Braves in the fourth. There’s still a lot of […]
Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Luinder Avila vs. Ryan Feltner
Happy August and Happy 150th Birthday to Colorado! The Colorado Rockies (43-67) ended July with a win to finish the month with a 10-14 record. They look to start the new month off with a series win as they face off against the Kansas City Royals (46-65) for game two of the three-game set. The […]
Los Angeles Queens vs New York Heights — WPBL Discussion thread
Today, for the first time since 1954, women’s professional baseball will take the stage, and it’s a moment worth commemorating. Welcome to the Women’s Professional Baseball League. (Cory Cohen published a primer here.) First, a note is in order. We realize that Purple Row is a Colorado Rockies site, and none of that will change. […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, August 1
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week, but some MLB trades are beginning to shake around the edges, so perhaps we will see some action today. Other teams are getting off […]
What is Troy Johnston’s narrow path to value with the Rockies?
The focus around the Colorado Rockies is rightly on who will be traded before Monday afternoon and what the club might receive in return. There is also a real possibility that the final transaction list will underwhelm a fan base expecting the new front office to reshape the roster more aggressively. One player likely to […]
