The Colorado Rockies are having a nightmarish season, currently holding the worst record in MLB with 6 wins and 33 losses through their first 39 games. This marks their worst start in National League history and ties them with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the worst in modern MLB. Over the weekend, the Rockies suffered a humiliating 21-0 defeat to the San Diego Padres, showcasing their second-worst offense and a pitching staff that ranks at the bottom in ERA. Rookie Bradley Blalock struggled immensely, allowing 12 earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings, while the Rockies managed only five hits against Padres starter Stephen Kolek.

With a shocking run differential of -134, the Rockies are on pace for a historically poor season with a projected -557 differential. Their struggles extend beyond the current roster, as the team's minor league system ranks only 18th in MLB, yielding little hope for immediate replenishment. Injuries have plagued the Rockies, with Kris Bryant's future uncertain due to a degenerative lumbar condition. As fans and analysts watch this train wreck unfold, the prospect of trading away any valuable players looms large as the Rockies look to salvage something from this season.
