The Colorado Rockies have tons of work to do when it comes to building their roster for the 2026 season and beyond.
After a brutal 2025 campaign involving one of the worst records in MLB history, it is clear that the franchise needed to turn a different direction. With the front office being nearly completely overhauled and the coaching staff seeing similar movement, there is hope that there will be a project put together to really get the Rockies back on track sooner rather than later.
This past trade deadline, Colorado decided to move on from some key pieces of their previous core, as they had been doing for a few seasons now. With the team having no real competitive direction at the time, it was better to get younger players who had more years of control, rather than just letting these core players walk in the next few offseasons.
One of those names was Ryan McMahon, whom the Rockies traded to the New York Yankees at the deadline. McMahon was one of the surviving pieces of the late 2010s Colorado squad had Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story, Charlie Blackmon and more. With that said, McMahon left his mark in the first half of the year, especially when it came to home runs.
