And what’s the solution to creating a Rockies Museum? The updates on Todd Helton continue to be promising as we await Tuesday’s announcement. What artifacts will be joining the Toddfather…
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…
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…

Then, we hear from one of the Coors Field foxes (yes this is the fourth consecutive day of fox coverage). Suzie Hunter comes to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down everything you need to know in…
The 2022 MLB Winter Meetings are over. What’s next for the Colorado Rockies and how did they fare while in San Diego? Will they actually follow through on adding another left-handed bat? Will they make a surprising splash in the free agency for a starting pitcher? And who were the new guys they added to Triple-A Albuquerque? ‘A return to…
When the first batch of suitcases rolled into the lobby of the Manchester Grand Hyatt on Sunday, December 3, those adorned with luggage tags featuring the interlocking C-R had owners with a single task for the next three days: make the Colorado Rockies better. Four key goals set the path for what would be success at the 2022 Winter Meetings.…
Cody Bellinger, center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. It has an interesting ring to it. A notable player coming from a premier team to find his way in Denver – and not the other way around – would be nothing short of a shocker. Yet, those odds drastically increased last Friday when Bellinger was non-tendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers…
GM Bill Schmidt simply won’t stop improving the Rockies’ roster this offseason. On Thursday, he dealt away fan favorite Raimel Tapia and 18-year-old Adrian Pinto to the Toronto Blue Jays for Randal Grichuk and cash Kevin Henry of RoxPile and Call To The Pen helps break down the deal and its impact on the Opening Day roster. “Raimel Tapia and…
Ryan McMahon and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a six-year deal worth $70 million. The 27-year-old made strides defensively in 2021 by being named a finalist at third base for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. He also recorded his second consecutive full-season reaching the 20 home run and 80 RBI mark. “I’m really excited to be in Denver for…...
Less than 48 hours after owners ratified the collective bargaining agreement between them and the players, the Colorado Rockies moved quickly on a trio of free agents to re-open the offseason. SS José Iglesias and RHP Alex Colomé have reportedly signed one-year deals to play in Denver for the 2022 season. Iglesias, 32, will be tasked with replacing All-Star shortstop…...

On Thursday, the Colorado Rockies announced a three-year deal with catcher Elias Díaz worth approximately $14.5 million. The 31-year-old had an incredibly productive season at the plate, slugging .464 thanks to 37 extra-base hits. His 18 home runs were the fourth-most in franchise history by a catcher. Díaz did most of his damage at the dish after mid-June, homering in…
Kevin Henry from RoxPile joins the show to discuss his National League Rookie of the Year Award ballot and how he viewed one of the more challenging awards to give out. With Trevor Story reportedly rejecting Colorado’s qualifying offer of $18.4 million, we figure out the details of what happens to his free agent market: when does he sign, how…
GM Meetings are providing some intrigue by way of free agent negotiations with Jon Gray, between both the Rockies and Detroit Tigers. Will Gray give Colorado a chance to match whatever offer he receives in free agency? Would Story do the same? Rockies need to fill a hole at shortstop as well as add some pop in the outfield. Two…

We discuss the free agent market for Trevor Story and Jon Gray while considering the impact of contracts given to Antonio Senzatela and C.J. Cron. Plus, Kevin discusses…
Colorado Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt hasn’t pulled any punches this offseason so far. Even as postseason baseball rages into its second week, he may not soon after the final out is recorded in the 2021 World Series. Schmidt extended RHP Antonio Senzatela to a five-year contract worth $50 million and re-signed C.J. Cron to a two-year, $14.5 million deal…...
Joined by Kevin Henry, co-editor of RoxPile, the discussion focuses on Trevor Story’s heartfelt goodbye and his next landing place, specifically what kind of club he’ll be targeting. Nolan Arenado did not impress in the NL Wild Card Game despite playing in front of a familiar crowd in Los Angeles. Finally, GM Bill Schmidt has a permanent title and first…
Since May 21, the Colorado Rockies are 55-51. Because of the screwed up economics of baseball, trying to lose is a viable strategy for at least third of the teams in MLB so it makes perfect sense that some would see this not as success but rather as a failure of another kind. After all, they aren’t making the postseason…...
