The Colorado Rockies are searching for someone who is going to lead their front office.
This comes on the heels of Bill Schmidt stepping down from his general manager role, which allowed Walker Monfort to head up the search for someone outside the organization. Some high-profile names were connected to the position, with reports later indicating who had actually interviewed for the job.
But as other teams around the league have started to get their front offices situated after having open roles, it was revealed the Rockies weren’t ready to announce their decision until the offseason officially got underway.
That was a bit head-scratching at the time since it would be wise to have a permanent executive in place during the busy waiver claim period that is set to get underway. However, it seems like there is a main reason why Colorado has delayed their announcement.
