Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt resigns after dreadful season

Colorado's front office shakes up after a 119-loss season as Bill Schmidt resigns, ending a 25-year run overseeing a draft-and-develop mindset. The Rockies will search externally for a new baseball ops leader, with Warren Schaeffer’s future as interim manager undecided and a 2026 managerial decision looming from the incoming boss.

The season exposed deep issues: injury-plagued pitching, a struggle-filled offense, and a youth movement that under-delivered. Kris Bryant’s deal yielded little return, while top picks Toglia and Veen faltered, underscoring the need for a fresh strategic direction and renewed fan confidence.

How will a new Rockies GM balance rebuilding with turning the page toward immediate competitiveness?What immediate roster adjustments should Rockies fans expect from a new leadership team?How might the Arenado trade influence the new GM’s approach to star-level talent?What would constitute a successful first year for the Rockies under new leadership?

Colorado Rockies news: Rockies must re-discover home field advantage to climb out of cellar | Purple Row

Colorado Rockies news: Rockies must re-discover home field advantage to climb out of cellar | Purple Row

Colorado’s Coors Field saga continues: the Rockies are 23-52 at home this season, a .307 clip that ranks last in MLB, as Coors’ elevation inflates ERAs and homers. The home pitching is the worst in the league (6.57 ERA) while the offense at Coors is only middling; three straight 100+ loss seasons underscore the urgent need to reclaim home-field advantage. With six home games left against Miami and the Angels, a turn in the home record could start a late-season rally.

The piece argues fixes must come on both sides: sharper pitching and better defense, plus more productive hitting to exploit elevation. It points to a post-All-Star Break mark of 13-16 at home as a sliver of optimism if the rotation, bullpen, and lineup converge. Farm updates spotlight Hiura, Hilliard, and Veen as signs the Rockies’ pipeline could lift the big club, but the path back to relevance requires winning at altitude rather than merely at sea level.

What is the single most impactful move the Rockies could make to improve at-home performance this season?Which Rockies players hold the strongest near-term fantasy upside if they break through at the majors this year?How should fantasy rosters navigate the Rockies’ home-field volatility in the coming weeks?What matchups or series should fantasy players target for Coors Field leverage in the near term?

Colorado Rockies Reacts Results: Might we see Sterlin Thompson soon? | Purple Row
Rockies push a youth-forward agenda in 2025, with 13 rookies debuting and roster-expansion looming on September 1. Purple Row readers expect Sterlin Thompson to be No. 14, while pitching prospects Sean Sullivan and Gabriel Hughes are in the conversation. McCade Brown already logged a debut, and the rotation uncertainty keeps the door open for more call-ups in 2025 or 2026. Fantasy angle: monitor late-season call-ups for potential value in deep leagues.
Which Rockies rookie has the clearest path to Sept debut and why?What is the fantasy upside of the Rockies’ late-season call-ups?Which pitching prospect has the best chance to impact fantasy in 2025?If you could stash a Rockies sleeper for rest of 2025, who would it be and why?

The state of the Colorado Rockies farm system, August 2025 | Purple Row

Colorado's 2025 PuRP cycle is accelerating toward a by-committee rise from within. Four PuRPs have already graduated to the majors (Fernández, Ritter, Hill, Fulford), while a broader group has debuted (Karros, Veen, Palmquist, Bernabel, Romo, Brown). The Rockies enter a new era with a young core—Beck, Carrigg, Thomas, Thompson, and others—yet pitching depth remains a concern, especially rotation reinforcements. Outfield decisions and 40-man moves will drive winter strategy.

Which Rockies player has the clearest path to a 40-man roster spot after 2025, and why?Where does the Rockies’ outfield logjam stand and how should fantasy managers navigate it?How important is the Latin America pipeline to the Rockies’ future, and who stands out?Which Rockies arms could unlock the rotation by 2027?

Colorado Rockies News: Kyle Karros reflects on his MLB debut | Purple Row

Kyle Karros reached the majors with Colorado after a deadline shakeup that jettisoned veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon. The fifth-round pick out of UCLA spoke of comfort and a return to basics after his call-up, delivering an RBI single in his first big-league game and a walk that highlighted his plate discipline. The Rockies’ season pivot also spotlighted a bevy of top-tier prospects in the system, including Zac Veen, Jordan Beck, and Warming Bernabel, who have been tearing through the farm and are primed for future big-league impact. The Isotopes and Yard Goats updates showed Rockies depth at every level, with pitchers like Xzavion Curry and the organization’s staff leaning on veteran guidance to accelerate development. Fantasy managers should monitor how the roster reshaping influences Karros’ at-bats and how the arrival of multiple prospects could shift playing time and opportunities in the Rockies’ lineup going forward.

With Kyle Karros’ MLB debut and the roster reshuffle, what is the immediate fantasy outlook for the Rockies’ infield core?What late-season strategic moves could Rockies fans expect as McMahon departs and Karros rises?Which Rockies rookie is most likely to deliver late-season fantasy value alongside Karros?How should fantasy players prepare for potential Rockies call-ups at season’s end?
