We keep reiterating how bad the 2025 season was, and for good reason. A 43-119 record, barely staving off the White Sox record from 2024, is nothing to laugh at.

The future of the Colorado Rockies, especially that of the farm system, looks much brighter than it has in previous seasons. With names like Ethan Holliday and <a href="/mlb/players/charlie_condon/912696">Charlie Condon</a> now making their way through the farm, a new era of Rockies baseball seems imminent in the National League West.

The Colorado Rockies' pitching staff was in dire need of some insurance this offseason, and while moves are continuously being made, the road is still very long.

The Colorado Rockies have a looming issue on their roster in <a href="/mlb/players/kris_bryant/318152">Kris Bryant</a>. Bryant is suffering from lumbar degenerative disk disease, which kept him out of all but 11 games last season.

I’ve spent a good deal of time this offseason pontificating about the prospects of how the Colorado Rockies can fill in a spot at first base. However, the idea of how in the world the Rockies fill in the gaps of one of the worst starting rotations in baseball history has far eluded me.

The Colorado Rockies are coming off an objectively terrible pitching season. The Rockies lost 119 games in 2025, and the pitching staff did little to nothing to help out the offense.

The Colorado Rockies begin their journey back to being a competitive ball club this season after a disastrous 2025 campaign. Residing in the NL West division is already hard enough, but anything above a 43-119 overall record is an improvement.

The Colorado Rockies made quite a few moves this past MLB trade deadline to offload some of their key veterans; in exchange, they received a pretty decent plethora of prospects to choose from.

Thursday, January 8, is MLB’s deadline for teams to agree to terms with their salary arbitration-eligible players.

The Colorado Rockies had an extremely difficult 2025 season, and much of their inconsistency came from their pitching staff. Pitching at Coors Field is one of the most difficult things any MLB arm can do, as it is obviously the most hitter-friendly park in the sport due to its height above sea level.

The name of the game for the 2026 Colorado Rockies is a proper rebuild. Since last making the postseason in 2018, the Rockies haven’t won more than 74 games in a season.

<a href="/mlb/players/ezequiel_tovar/751814">Ezequiel Tovar</a> did not take long to make his presence known in Major League Baseball. He was originally signed as an international free agent by the Colorado Rockies on August 1, 2017, the day he turned 16.
