Even after the worst season in franchise history, I still miss baseball. There are plenty of other sports to watch during the offseason to keep you busy, but it’s not the same as baseball. This year, about two months after the Rockies 2025 season ended and about four months before the 2026 season begins, I’m […]
The Colorado Rockies under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta have achieved their first set of offseason milestones. They survived awards season and saw Hunter Goodman win a National League Silver Slugger. They protected their picks from the Rule 5 Draft by adding them to the 40-man roster, and parted ways with a few […]
Colorado Rockies President of Baseball Operations Paul DePodesta has a lot on his plate as he tries to turn things around in Denver. That makes the news that he will most likely hire a general manager under him such a welcome thought. Delegating and working with another individual to execute the vision will hopefully bring […]
In 2007, when the Rockies rode a Rocktober wave to the World Series, the Tampa Bay Rays finished last in the AL East standings at 66-96. The year before, then-Tampa Bay executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager Andrew Friedman had hired Joe Maddon to manage the Rays, and together they worked to […]
When the Colorado Rockies announced Paul DePodesta as their President of Baseball Operations, I was admittedly a little upset about the news.

This week is all about the MLB General Managers Meeting in Las Vegas. While it’s probably safe to assume there won’t be much action in terms of signings and trades, overall the GM meeting is a space to set the stage for what will follow this offseason. Think of it as getting to know someone […]
The World Series starts tonight. Soon the baseball world will have answers to many questions: Can money really buy championships (aka $700 million for Shohei Ohtani, $325 million for Yoshinobu Yamamoto $325 million, spending $400 million more after winning the World Series last year, etc.)? Are the Dodgers a budding dynasty? Can Vladimir Guerrero Jr. […]
Last week I wrote something about veterans’ experiences with the Colorado Rockies. As a young team trying to figure out its future under an unknown new head of baseball operations (unless they have already announced it by the time you read this), there is a place for veterans to help lead this team. Ideally, I […]
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly nearing the finish line after a monumental decision and will interview finalists to run their baseball operations. It is unknown whether this appointment will carry the title of “president of baseball operations” or “general manager,” but whoever is selected will have far-reaching consequences in the coming years. “This is one […]
