SCOTTSDALE, Ariz – The Colorado Rockies have become famous, or perhaps a bit infamous depending on your disposition, for a slow and steady approach when it comes to the wheeling and dealing side of the business. It’s ironic that General Manager Jeff Bridich has made fewer trades than any other GM in MLB since taking over the job with the…...
Scottsdale – Garrett Hampson is a manager’s dream. All the tools. All the positions. All the instincts. All the smarts.

You have to run, you have to hit, you have to catch, you have to throw… and most importantly, you have to pitch. The Colorado Rockies have discovered over their 25-year history that they…...
One way or another, there is going to be a changing of the guard in the Colorado Rockies clubhouse in 2019. DJ LeMahieu, Carlos Gonzalez, and Adam Ottavino all served their roles well as vital members of a team that has often prided itself on being about brotherhood and camaraderie. Even Gerardo Parra was an important cog in creating clubhouse…...
Things will be different for Nolan Arenado in 2019. As it stood, 2018 was already a peculiar season in the career of the superstar third baseman. He finished highest in his career for MVP voting (third) despite putting up numbers below his previous three-year averages in home runs, batting average, and slugging percentage. Even his defense, while still stellar and…...
The 2017 Colorado Rockies, from the perspective of almost everyone outside of BSN Denver, were a complete shocker.

DENVER – Sometimes a baseball season is 162 games. Sometimes, it’s just one. And then there are those times when after playing 162 games and then one more… and then one more… your season becomes defined by a three-game sample size in which you were handily swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a very public display of offensive futility. Y’know,…
DENVER – It can be easy to forget sometimes, especially these days, that Major League Baseball isn’t a video game. Or a fantasy sport. It’s the real deal.
