The 2023 Winter Meetings is around the corner and the Colorado Rockies have some work to do if they’re going to avoid losing 100 games in 2024. Last offseason featured trades for Nolan Jones and Connor Seabold, but not much more than that. GM Bill Schmidt is on the clock if the Rox are going to be contenders in 2025.…
It’s been over two decades since the player deemed Best In The World reached free agency. Shohei Ohtani, the unanimous American League MVP and the undisputed greatest in the game right now, is available for all 30 teams in Major League Baseball to acquire. When Álex Rodríguez posted 10.4 bWAR — the 22nd best single-season in baseball history, according to…
MLB hasn’t seen a player this talented on the free agent market in a long time. Shohei Ohtani can do it all, literally. Discussions with team have been private, but they could result in a signing very soon. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the obvious destination of choice, but is it really a foregone conclusion? Could Ohtani make north…
The National League West is no longer a powerhouse. The Los Angeles Dodgers are somewhat of a mess after Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. The San Diego Padres may need to shed payroll and superstar Juan Soto. The San Francisco Giants have money to spend, but need help in a lot of areas. The Arizona Diamondbacks are trending upward in…
Craig Counsell went from being a finalist for the 2023 Manager of the Year with the Milwaukee Brewers to the obvious choice of the New York Mets to the unlikeliest of choice of the Chicago Cubs, who already employed David Ross as their skipper. How much do the Brew Crew dislike Counsell right now? Should MLB managers be paid more?…
Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles on the road wasn’t going to be easy, but it’s been a hellish start for the Colorado Rockies at Tropicana Field. Blown saves, bad umpire reviews and a ballpark that just doesn’t look right for baseball. Who broke out of a major slump in a significant way? Has the starting rotation become the backbone…
Shohei Ohtani trade rumors continue to gain traction as we get closer to the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline. Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno is listening to offer on his Japanese superstar as he approaches free agency this offseason. Is Ohtani most likely to land in the NL West? Which team will Moreno be avoiding? How many teams actually have…
Mike Trout hit the first of three consecutive home runs for the Los Angeles Angels during a 13-run inning that sank the Colorado Rockies 25-1 in the worst loss in the franchise’s 31 years. Where was Shohei Ohtani in the barrage? How did Mike Moustakas end up in the other dugout? What about that Elias Díaz grand slam on Friday…
What is going on? A simple question, not a rhetorical one meant as a greeting. Baseball fans around the globe asked this to anyone who would listen when viewing the 25-1 final score of Saturday night’s Colorado Rockies game. It was the worst loss in what is supposed to be the club’s celebratory 30th anniversary, eclipsing a 26-7 defeat to…
For those fans who circled the weekend of June 23-25 on their Colorado Rockies schedule for the return of Shohei Ohtani to Coors Field were not disappointed on Night One. Ohtani delivered — not literally, as he won’t be pitching during this series for the Los Angeles Angels — and so did the Rockies during their 7-4 comeback win that…
Shohei Ohtani is back at Coors Field for the first time since the 2021 All-Star Game. He’s still waiting for his first home run in Denver – excluding all those during the Home Run Derby onto the Rooftop – and if he’s ever going to hit for the cycle, it could be this weekend. Will Shohei be staying in Los…
The World Baseball Classic Final was better than anything we could have predicted and Shawn Spradling from Baseball Isn’t Boring Podcast was there.

World Baseball Classic delivered the dream matchup we all wanted: Team USA against Samurai Japan. Beyond that, we wanted Shohei Ohtani to pitch against his teammate on the Los Angeles Angels, Mike Trout. Game on the line, ninth inning and with two outs, the All-Stars and legends faced off. Somewhere in Arizona, the Colorado Rockies faced off against the San…
The USA needed a win over Colombia to keep their hopes alive of winning the World Baseball Classic again. Mike Trout was pure clutch with three hits and all three runs batted in while America’s bullpen – including Colorado Rockies’ closer Daniel Bard – stepped up. Undefeated Venezuela (4-0) is up next for Team USA. DNVR Rockies Podcast breaks down…
World Baseball Classic starts with a bang as the Colorado Rockies factor in wins for the Netherlands and Panama while Shohei Ohtani starts for Japan in their opener.

In less than a year, the Denver Broncos have put together a dream combination of Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. If the Colorado Rockies pulled off such a feat, who would they acquire? Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels and Theo Epstein – the curse-breaker – would have to be atop their list. What are the best combinations in…
After some good news regarding Todd Helton’s Hall of Fame candidacy, we launch into a conversation about the good, the bad and the ugly regarding the World Cup. Why is advancing technology so critical? How can MLB grow the game internationally? And why aren’t the stars promoting the game more? After Ezequiel Tovar’s rapid rise through minors, who’s next to…
Colorado had everything going in their favor on Monday night, namely a 5-1 early lead over the slumping Giants who didn’t arrive at their hotel until after 2 a.m. Alas, Chad Kuhl got Coors Field-ed and the seven run from the Rockies’ lineup wasn’t enough. How did it fall apart? What kind of infamous MLB debut did we just witness?…
