The Colorado Rockies are in the middle of what could end up being a full-scale rebuild, with a new president of baseball operations to run things, and some early roster moves. Signs point to a pretty intensive overhaul. After the season they had in 2025, one of the worst in MLB history, it was certainly necessary to make multiple changes heading into 2026.
One of the big decisions that remained after the front office shakeup was figuring out the manager position, and whether or not interim manager Will Schaeffer was someone the franchise believed in enough to keep for another year, or would look to replace. The decision would have to come pretty quickly, given that the winter meetings are growing closer, and roster moves are next up on the docket.
So, with only a few weeks left until then, a decision has been made at the manager spot, and after many other franchises have looked to hire new ones this offseason, the Rockies have also made their call on whether or not to retain Schaeffer for 2026.
