Rockies playing so bad they don’t even know which way to face when batting
I'm fine with this. WS wasn't to blame for the terrible roster, and it makes sense to keep a manager with good relationships to the young players. I'm sure he bought in 100% to what PDP is wanting to do.
Schaeffer returning as Rockies' full-time manager
The Rockies are making Warren Schaeffer -- who served as interim manager for a large part of the 2025 season -- their full-time skipper, the team announced on Monday.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nimmo gets flipped with a whole lotta money
Brandon Nimmo has been traded to the Texas Rangers, per source. A trade that will also send Marcus Semien to the New York Mets.

Trump's 28-point peace plan for Ukraine is almost entirely dictated directly by Russia. It's a terrible deal for Ukraine and they should burn it with fire. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Feeling really hopeful that PDP brings a Rockies team with more pitchers and fewer belly-itchers. Not to mention replacing the broken ladders in the lineup with batters.

This article likes Arraez for the Rockies for some reason, but I assume PDP and the new gang will say no to a contact-only hitter who can't field and doesn't walk or hit for any power at all.
Making sense of Arraez's complex free-agent case
This winter features what just might be the most divisive case we’ve seen for a free agent in years.
We’re talking about Luis Arraez, who is either “the best contact hitter alive” or “a below-average ...

What a precipitous fall for Toglia in just a single calendar year. Also sad to see Rolison not pan out after some promise early on
#Rockies add three prospects to the 40-man roster ahead of December's Rule 5 draft:
RHP Gabriel Hughes
LHP Welinton Herrera
OF Sterlin Thompson
Colorado also designates for assignment 1B Michael Toglia and LHP Ryan Rolison.

Normally I'd criticize the Rockies dealing a farmhand for a 33-yr old reliever, but we've had like one decent LH option in the bullpen (Suter) in the past half decade

Very interesting. This is the stuff I want to see, because the rot isn't just at the MLB level for the Rockies. I want to see Ottavino as the new pitching strategist.
Changes in #Rockies player development: They have parted ways with pitching strategist Flint Wallace, Minor League pitching coordinator Doug Linton and Triple-A @ABQTopes pitching coach Chris Michalak, plus High-A @spokaneindians hitting coach Trevor Burmeister.
