NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 2022 Winter Meetings for the Colorado Rockies was incredibly quiet featuring only the trade of an expendable reliever for a minor league starting pitcher. The 2023 edition was downright mute. Even when their activity picks up, it will be equally as forgettable. “We’re looking for somebody to go with (Elias) Díaz,” GM Bill Schmidt said in…
Brenton Doyle may not have made his Major League debut until nearly a month into the 2023 season, but his impact in the outfield was enough to earn him the National League Gold Glove Award for center field on Sunday.

Should McMahon…
The team to beat this postseason is Atlanta, at least according to the Colorado Rockies. Leading all of baseball with 104 wins and slugging 307 home runs, tied for most in the single season, it isn’t hard to see why Atlanta is a favorite to win their second World Series in three years. “This is arguably one of the best…
The worst season in Colorado Rockies history has finally come to a close.

CHICAGO, Ill. – Though they set a new franchise record with their 99th loss of the season on Sunday and were officially eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago on Sept. 6, the Colorado Rockies are getting a second-hand experience of what a postseason race is all about. With the toughest strength of schedule in the second half, including series against…
CHICAGO, Ill. – Time flies when you’re a rookie shortstop setting records on nearly a daily basis for the Colorado Rockies. One year ago today, Ezequiel Tovar was making his Major League debut and getting a base hit in the first two pitches he saw as a big leaguer. On Saturday, he was firmly entrenched in the Rockies lineup for…
For the first time in 51 days, Kris Bryant’s name appeared in the starting lineup for the Colorado Rockies. Bryant was activated from the injured list on Monday before a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs following a fractured left index finger suffered during a hit-by-pitch on July 22, costing him 45 games. “I think he feels a little bit…
In a strange scene that could have been far worse, three fans went onto the field Monday night during a game at Coors Field between the Colorado Rockies and Atlanta to confront superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. During the seventh-inning stretch, security ran onto the field and apprehended three trespassers before Denver Police Department arrested and charged two of the perpetrators…

It isn’t everyday the man nicknamed Mr. Rockie comes back to his old stomping grounds to make an appearance. It’s not even every year. Todd Helton’s name is atop so many of the Colorado Rockies’ leaderboards and his resume is well understood by fans in the Rocky Mountain region. Most games played, most home runs, base hits and on and…
The only outfielders to ever win a Gold Glove Award with the Colorado Rockies are Larry Walker (1997-99, 2001-02) and Carlos González (2010, 2012-13). Neither played center field — Walker played in right field and González in left field during those seasons — and the two never played together. The 2023 Rockies have one of the better defensive outfield duos…

There are few things better than a player getting a base hit in the first at-bat of their Major League debut.
