We’re in the thick of Thanksgiving, and there finally some things to be grateful for as a Rockies fan. The Rockies hired an external candidate — Paul DePodesta of “Moneyball” fame — as their president of baseball operations, and Warren Schaeffer is back from his interim managerial stint to lead the team full-time in 2026. They’ve made a handful of moves so far, and have tendered/non-tendered contracts to many of the players we all hoped would return or not.
Next up on the horizon, we have the Winter Meetings to look forward to from December 7-10 in Orlando. DePodesta is also looking to hire a general manager underneath him, and Schaeffer still has to fill out his coaching staff. There are a lot of moves to still be made, but things appear to be moving in the right direction!
In the meantime, though, here’s what our writers were up to this week:
