Things seem to be happening for the Colorado Rockies in their front office search.
After longtime general manager Bill Schmidt stepped down from his role and assistant general manager Zack Rosenthal also resigned, that seemed to pave the way for owner Dick Monfort to conduct a search that was outside of the organization.
And according to Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic (subscription required), that is exactly what has happened thus far. In her report, she stated the Rockies have interviewed three candidates for their open front office role: James Click of the Toronto Blue Jays, Scott Sharp of the Kansas City Royals and Matt Forman of the Cleveland Guardians.
Of those three, only Click has general manager experience, while both Sharp and Forman currently serve in assistant GM roles with their current employers. That doesn’t mean those two aren’t good candidates, though, and going down that route seems like something Colorado should consider.
With those names now reported as people the Rockies have interviewed — although Ghiroli stated that it’s not clear when those took place — it’s time to do a deeper dive into who those men are and what their backgrounds have been.
