Nolan Jones was head and shoulders the highlight of the 2023 season, not just because it seemed to come out of nowhere, but for the possibilities he brings over a 162-game season.

One of the biggest elements that makes the MLB Draft so much different than those in the other major sports is the bonus pool system.

Is this the best version of the Rockies right now?…
The 2023 Colorado Rockies (5-13) are off to the worst start in the franchise’s 31-year history through 18 games.

The playoff drought for the Colorado Rockies has reached a fourth-straight season. Similar statements cannot be said about their minor league affiliates.

Rockies lose on the final day of the first half, but finish the homestand at 5-2 thanks to series wins over the Padres and Pirates. Colorado also made four selections on Sunday in the 2022 MLB Draft.
