After missing the playoffs for the seventh-straight season, the Colorado Rockies are finally making widespread organizational changes. However, Colorado’s search for their next President of Baseball Operations has hit a devastating roadblock. The Rockies had gotten their search down to two candidates, Arizona Diamondbacks assistant general manager Amiel Sawadaye and Cleveland Guardians assistant general manager […]

Kris Bryant has gone from National League MVP and World Series champion to arguably the worst contract in MLB history in less than a decade. He has not played 100 games in a single campaign since 2021 and has barely logged a full season’s worth of action in his first four years with the Colorado […]

General managers around Major League Baseball are gearing up for what could be a chaotic offseason. Some of the best players in the league are weighing their options and teams are lining up to make their case. For Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort and manager Warren Schaeffer, no stone will go unturned. Including the ones […]

Back in July, the Colorado Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the New York Yankees. In a matter of months, he went from a last-place team to a Wild Card team. Though the Yankees lost in the ALDS to the Blue Jays, McMahon left his mark on the field. Ultimately, he became a finalist for the […]

The Colorado Rockies went 43-119 this season, staying near the bottom of the standings the whole year. While German Marquez reached a career milestone, he and the team’s pitching staff struggled. The Rockies fired general manager Bill Schmidt to kick off their offseason, but more changes could be coming. Regardless of their future, the pressure […]

The worst season in Colorado Rockies history has claimed its first casualty: general manager Bill Schmidt. After a disastrous 119-loss season, the longtime executive has stepped down. Schmidt had been part of the Rockies organization for over two decades, but the NL West club has not reached the playoffs since 2018, and this collapse made […]

The 2025 season was the bleakest in Colorado Rockies history, and the team, along with its fans, will want to put it behind them as soon as possible. They ended the year with a franchise-low 43-119 record after a 4-0 defeat to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, earning the unenviable distinction of having the […]

Absolutely nothing has gone right for the Colorado Rockies during the 2025. But in Wednesday’s matchup against the Seattle Mariners, the Rockies hit a new, unfathomable low. Colorado fell to Seattle, locking up the latter’s spot in the postseason, 9-2. The Rockies now have a run differential of -412. It is by far the worst […]

The Seattle Mariners rallied to a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in the series opener Tuesday. The comeback victory earned the Mariners a postseason berth for the first time since 2022. And Seattle is now just one win away from clinching the AL West for the first time in 24 years. Cal Raleigh was […]

Years of mismanagement and front office incompetence has led to the shocking downfall of the Colorado Rockies. They’ve never been the team with the biggest payroll, but they were at least competitive in the mid-2010s. But now, they’ve fallen so far off a cliff that one year after the Chicago White Sox set records for […]

The Los Angeles Angels will be without veteran closer Kenley Jansen for their upcoming road series at Coors Field, as the right-hander will not travel to Denver due to ongoing heart-related concerns. The decision is a precaution tied to Jansen’s history with atrial fibrillation, which is known to be aggravated by the high altitude. Jansen […]

Blaine Crim had a special moment in his MLB career during the Colorado Rockies’ matchup against the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Crim is playing his first season in the majors at age 27.

As if the Colorado Rockies’ 2025 season could get any worse, one of the few potential bright spots of their putrid squad in rookie pitcher Chase Dollander may have thrown his final pitch of the season on the eighth of September in a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. As Patrick Saunders of the […]

The San Diego Padres are making a critical roster move ahead of their home series against the Colorado Rockies. As the 2025 MLB playoff race intensifies and Padres starting rotation continues to show signs of fatigue, the club is expected to recall veteran left-hander JP Sears to start Friday night in Game 2 of the […]

Following an abysmal run in which they finished with a losing record in five straight years and posted the two worst seasons in franchise history, the Colorado Rockies have produced their greatest catastrophe yet. They are utterly unwatchable in 2025, accumulating a team-record 105 Ls and stomping on every morsel of optimism the fan base […]

The St. Louis Cardinals made a roster move Monday that felt more like formality than surprise. Utility player Garrett Hampson, once a top prospect in the Colorado Rockies system, was designated for assignment after just 35 games in St. Louis. The roster move clears space for Alec Burleson’s activation from the injured list, left-hander Nick […]

The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of one of the worst seasons in modern MLB history. They are currently 39-101, so although they likely won’t break the Chicago White Sox record from last season for most losses, they will likely just narrowly get past 40 wins. The team is a dumpster fire that needs […]

The San Francisco Giants are facing added tension in the middle of their playoff push after third baseman Matt Chapman received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for pushing Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. The altercation took place during the second game of a three-game series, in the first inning of Tuesday night’s Giants […]

The San Francisco Giants found themselves at the center of controversy Tuesday night after a heated exchange between Rafael Devers and Kyle Freeland sparked a benches-clearing incident in the first inning of San Francisco’s 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The tension began when Devers admired his two-run home run off Freeland […]

Times have changed. There are certain things baseball players do now that was considered taboo even a decade ago. Admiring home runs falls under that category. While plenty of fans still take issue with the practice — bat flipping as well — this is now largely seen as gamesmanship within the industry. Pitchers still don’t […]

The San Francisco Giants came into Tuesday’s matchup with the Colorado Rockies looking for a series win and their ninth win in ten games. But early in the game, things took an ugly turn after a big home run. Giants slugger Rafael Devers hit a moonshot off of Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland, and the benches […]

A series opening win over the Houston Astros and season closing victory over the Chicago Cubs sandwiched a four-game losing streak for the Colorado Rockies. As the calendar turns over to September, the Rockies are just two losses away from 100 defeats on the season. Ahead of their latest series opener against the San Francisco […]

While 2025 has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult years in Colorado Rockies history, there have been bright spots. Most notably, the progress of young players such as catcher Hunter Goodman, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and outfielder Jordan Beck. Center fielder Brenton Doyle might not have played up to the level he has in the […]

The Colorado Rockies spent last weekend getting swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. While Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler stole the show in his first appearance in the major leagues, he wasn’t the most dominant pitcher in the series. Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak and his teammates could not break through against Paul Skenes, who put forward one […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t have scripted Bubba Chandler’s debut any better. The 22-year-old right-hander, one of baseball’s most highly touted pitching prospects, entered Friday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies at PNC Park and delivered four shutout innings, flashing triple-digit heat and making history in the process. Chandler, promoted earlier in the week from Triple-A, […]

In February of 2021, the St. Louis Cardinals traded five players to the Colorado Rockies for third baseman Nolan Arenado. Left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber was one of the biggest names Colorado acquired as part of the deal. Like many pitchers before him, though, Gomber struggled to find success with Colorado. Was it the elevation of […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers walked into Denver this week knowing they couldn’t afford to stumble. The San Diego Padres have closed the gap in the National League West, and the Dodgers needed to handle business against the last-place Colorado Rockies. Instead, Wednesday night turned into another frustrating Coors Field chapter, capped by Shohei Ohtani’s roughest […]

The Colorado Rockies teed off on Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani Wednesday. The reigning NL MVP made his 10th start of the season and allowed five runs on nine hits in four innings. It’s the most hits the eighth-year veteran has surrendered in a game since September 10, 2021. And adding injury to insult, […]

The Colorado Rockies placed left-hander Austin Gomber on outright waivers Wednesday, allowing all 30 Major League Baseball teams to claim the $6.35 million pitcher, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Given his struggles this season, Gomber is expected to clear waivers, allowing the Rockies to either assign him to the minors or release him. Gomber […]

The Colorado Rockies are going to need a miracle to happen if they are to make the 2025 MLB playoffs, but on Monday night, they didn’t need one to embarrass the reigning World Series champions. The Rockies scored a walk-off 4-3 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field in Denver, with Warming […]

The Colorado Rockies ended their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks with yet another late rally, securing a 6-5 victory on Sunday in Denver.

Right-hander Antonio Senzatela returned from the injured list and delivered one of his […]

On Sunday at Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks rolled past the Colorado Rockies 13-6, using a historic fifth inning to clinch a three-game sweep.

After an anxious weekend filled with uncertainty, the Colorado Rockies finally received some good news regarding rookie closer Seth Halvorsen. Interim manager Warren Schaeffer confirmed Monday that Halvorsen has a mild flexor strain in his right elbow and will not require surgery — a significant sigh of relief for a team that feared the worst. […]

Over the weekend, the Pittsburgh Pirates had their work cut out for them against the Colorado Rockies. They blew a nine-run lead on Friday to lose 17-16, after scoring nine runs in the first inning. However, a pair of Pirates made history in the process. Shortstop Liover Peguero and first baseman Spencer Horwitz combined for […]

The Colorado Rockies lost a lot of talent before the MLB trade deadline passed this season. One person they didn’t lose though was reliever Seth Halvorsen. Halvorsen is unfortunately headed to the injured list due to an injury, per the Denver Post. Halvorsen is dealing with an elbow problem. He has been working as the […]

The Colorado Rockies might set a new record for losses in an MLB regular season, but they didn’t look like that team on Saturday.

In one of the most improbable comebacks in recent Major League history, the Colorado Rockies rallied from a 9-0 first-inning hole to stun the Pittsburgh Pirates 17-16 on Friday night at Coors Field.
