We had two strong candidates in Sawdaye and Forman, but the shortlist seems to have gone out the window. Now there are rumors that Thad Levine is the favorite. Ngl I was excited about Forman but if they are going to spend more time on this then they should also look into Andy McKay and Dayton Moore.
Meanwhile, the offseason has already begun and teams are making moves. Rockies gonna Rockies

What’re the odds that they come back and say “after an exhaustive search for our next GM, we’ve come to the conclusion that the best candidate for the job is <insert douchebag who’s been with the Rockies for 20 years here>?”
We currently don’t have much in terms of concrete information regarding the FO search. Patrick Saunders (Denver Post) said an “excellent” source informed him that the Rockies are not moving on from Sawdaye or Forman. There are no other named candidates at this time.
The Rockies are still within their alleged timeline for the hire, which was likely to be after the World Series but before the start of the Las Vegas GM meetings on November 10th.
