It took the Colorado Rockies longer than expected to hire their next president of baseball operations. They hired Pau DePodesta away from the Cleveland Browns in early November to bring him back to MLB after a previous stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
DePodesta has a big rebuild in front of him for a franchise that is coming off a 119-loss 2025 season. Since being hired, he has hired a general manager, Josh Byrnes, removed the interim tag from Warren Schaeffer, and added to his staff.
As far as other moves, DePodesta has been quiet and has not been in a rush to make any moves without giving it some thoughtful consideration.
As we hit the midway point of the offseason, Chad Jennings of The Athletic (subscription required) recently placed each team into tiers, and he placed the Rockies into the “Half-measures” tier with the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels, and Athletics.
