After speaking with a small group of reporters on Saturday in his hometown for nearly an hour, Colorado Rockies’ owner Dick Monfort stood up from the table and said, “I didn’t say anything bad, did I?” Little did he realize that his comments on the Rockies an hour earlier were already reaching every corner of the baseball world. An hour…
The election of Scott Rolen to the Baseball Hall of Fame on his sixth ballot is a worthy one. Rolen was to his generation of third basemen almost precisely what Nolan Arenado is today: outstanding defender, terrific offensive contributor and a cornerstone player needed for putting together a World Series contender. https://twitter.com/baseballhall/status/1618024554210680833 Arenado has five seasons of 35 or more…...

You’re going to win a bet with this. A lot of bets, actually. When reflecting on the greatest players to ever suit up for the Colorado Rockies, your list may reach the 20s before you even think of a pitcher. The Blake Street Bombers are an easy five. Todd Helton makes six. There may be the entire lineup from 2007,…
Todd Helton will be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. There is zero doubt about it now. The 17-year veteran of the Colorado Rockies has finally begun to receive significant support from voters in the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) during his fifth year on the Hall of Fame ballot. Now, the only question is whether Helton will be…
It’s been a busy week over at 2001 Blake Street in Denver. The hope, but not a promise, is that these smaller pieces of business take care of a few larger things. Tuesday brought the announcement of a trade with the Boston Red Sox that added RHP Connor Seabold to Colorado’s 40-man roster for a player to be named later…
In exactly one month, baseball returns from its winter slumber with a simple pop of the mitt on back fields all across Arizona and Florida. Laughs, good-natured ribbing and loud barking from seasoned coaches will fill Salt River Fields when pitchers and catchers report to the Spring Training home of the Colorado Rockies on February 15. Not everyone will be…
The Colorado Rockies are currently in the midst of a transition as a slew of top prospects begin to arrive and impact the roster.

The Colorado Rockies added another big league arm to their bullpen on Friday, claiming RHP Nick Mears off waivers from the Texas Rangers. Mears joins a Rockies’ relief corps that has already been bolstered RHP Pierce Johnson and LHP Brent Suter.

The Year 2022 was a return to normalcy around the world following the pandemic shutdowns that wrought havoc on anything outside the comforts of our home. Fans were finally allowed back into ballparks at full capacity. In Denver, that meant over 2.5 million tickets sold at Coors Field to see the 68-94 Colorado Rockies. That was good for 10th-best in…
Despite a fourth consecutive losing season and limitations to their $182 million star left fielder Kris Bryant due to various injuries, the 2022 season for the Colorado Rockies will be remembered for one thing. The New Kids On The Block. A total of ten players made their Major League debut, fourth-most of any Rockies season in their 30-year history. Top…
At the Winter Meetings in San Diego earlier this month, GM Bill Schmidt made it clear that the Colorado Rockies would not be targeting any of the prime left-handed hitting free agents that should have topped his quintessential offseason wish list. Brandon Nimmo’s market was already getting too exorbitant ($162 million was the final number for a player who had…

His time in purple dates all the way back to the Expansion Draft in November 1992 before the team had even played its first game and includes two seasons at Mile High Stadium, the club’s first postseason appearance in 1995 and a place among baseball’s elite…...
It may have lasted just two seasons, but Connor Joe’s time with the Colorado Rockies was about as special as any player in franchise history. There were no All-Star Game appearances or postseason heroics, not even a walk-off hit to send home the Colorado crowd jubilated. Despite the absence of those bells and whistles that typically indicate star power on…
It was one of the more disappointing seasons for the starting rotation during the Bud Black’s tenure as manager of the Colorado Rockies.

It was only the second time Black’s rotation had an earned run average greater than…
