Rockies called up 13 players to make their MLB debuts last season. Another big group will likely arrive this year. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how those decisions are made: www.purplerow.com/rockies-spri...
New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes was part of a winning system with the Dodgers. Now he’s bringing that approach to the Rockies. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
This spring training represents a fresh slate for the Rockies and a chance to build new routines. Charlie Blackmon was the king of routines and Michael Lorenzen is now taking up the mantle. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Spring training is here! Let’s go Rockies. Let the new era begin. Https://www.purplerow.com/rockies-news/80185/super-exciting-new-rockies-chapter-starts-today-in-spring-training
The Rockies have to improve in 2026. Not all of the growth will be measured in wins, which makes tempering expectations hard. www.purplerow.com/rockies-anal...
The Rockies have proved they are very good at failure. Now it’s time to learn to use that failure to improve. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
So nice to have Larry Walker in the house at Coors Field!

Baseball life hasn’t gone very well for recent Rockies All-Stars. Hopefully things change this year www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Rockies pitchers need to attack the zone in 2026. How did they do in 2025 in the strike department? www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Broncos are the No. 1 seed in the AFC and heading to the playoffs in a remarkable turnaround from 3 years ago. The Rockies could learn a thing or two from how they did it: www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...

With more front office and coaching pieces in place, the Rockies need to start working on the 2026 roster with pitching as the priority. Here’s one idea: www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
So far so good with an overhaul at 20th and Blake: www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Rockies have a big few days coming up. Here’s hoping the new front office can start to prove they are the right guys. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...

An idea for the Rockies: First, please hire a GM before the GM meetings. Second, bring in a free agent starting pitcher. Third, specifically Zac Gallen. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Happy Halloween! This spooky season, the Rockies are their own worst nightmare. Can they end yhe horror? www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Thanks @spokaneindians.bsky.social for the repost! We are excited about Krajewski at PurpleRow and felt privileged to tell her story!

If you build it, they will come. If you lose 119 games, they will still come. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
The Rockies finally decided to go another way. Who will be the new president of baseball ops? Will the Rockies pick the right person and let them make new and innovative choices? www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
There’s not a lot to be happy about with the Colorado Rockies right now, but at least there’s progress in normalizing women being hired and promoted within the organization. The same thing is happening around MLB. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
Amazing piece by my friend @maclikesstuff.bsky.social. In a world w/ misinformation & shrinking attention spans, we need more reading and thinking before reacting. I’m going to miss Mac at Purple Row. This is a powerful way to end his time in our awesome community. www.purplerow.com/rockies-news...
