| Ethan Holliday done for 2026, Paul DePodesta searches for next TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston's trade value | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:31:01 | |
The Colorado Rockies are in desperate need for a superstar or two. TJ Rumfield, day-to-day with right shoulder inflammation, was making a case for NL Rookie of the Year. Just a year ago, he was blocked in the New York Yankees organization and stuck in Triple-A. Could new President of Baseball Operations find more players like this in other orgs? One player whose future as a superstar is on hold is Ethan Holliday. The 19-year-old selected 4th overall last year is done for the remainder of the 2026 season with a stress fracture in his left foot. Has he gone under the knife yet? And could we see him pop up in the Arizona Fall League this October? Plus, Troy Johnston's value to contending clubs at this year's trade deadline, the Los Angeles Angels postseason drought and the general dysfunction with the Halos. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Rockies win series, but get embarrassed by Giants during debut of Jonah Cox - Plus, the Ezequiel Tovar Game! | 01 Jun 2026 | 00:28:45 | |
Ezequiel Tovar had himself a game for the ages on Friday night to help the Colorado Rockies snap a five-game losing streak and a home run drought in Denver the likes of which we haven't seen very much. Two home runs - including a walk-off - to go along with a steal of home plate. How often have we seen that kind of performance in MLB? Ryan Feltner twirled an absolute gem in his return from the IL on Saturday night. How important is his return to the starting rotation? Is he back to the form that had him as one of the best pitchers during the second half of 2024? Plus, the status of TJ Rumfield, a Colorado native makes his MLB debut at Coors Field and previewing the Los Angeles Angels series. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Inside Michael Lorenzen’s struggles, Power Rankings drama and a possible Rockies trade to acquire draft picks | 12 May 2026 | 00:25:38 | |
Michael Lorenzen has been a bit unlucky when you break down the numbers. BABIP, xSLG and a few other statistics suggest he hasn't been quite as bad as his 6.92 ERA would suggest. Is he ready to turn a corner on Tuesday against Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates? When the breaking news of a two-time NL Gold Glove Award winner was getting traded on Saturday, there was a split second where Brenton Doyle was no longer a Rockie. However, it was Patrick Bailey of the San Francisco Giants who was traded to the Cleveland Guardians. In exchange, the Giants fortified their 2026 draft with the 29th pick this July. Could we see Colorado do something similar? Plus, a few unfamiliar names are worth watching in the Pirates series and the Rockies move out of the Power Rankings basement (for now). 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Was the Jerry McMorris era better than the Monfort era? Brewers deal pair of Rockies and Tyler Rogers gets paid | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:25:32 | |
It was 20 years ago that Charlie and Dick Monfort purchased Jerry McMorris' financial interest in the Colorado Rockies. The original primary owner of the 1993 expansion franchise took the club to the postseason quicker than any expansion franchise at the time. Does that mean McMorris had more success than the Monforts? The NL West is always lively at this time of the winter. Could Arizona be looking for more pitching after acquiring Merrill Kelly and Michael Soroka? Does San Diego need to get creative and trade from the big league talent? And are the Los Angeles Dodgers waiting in the weeds for their next superstar? Plus, Kenley Jansen's Hall of Fame candidacy, the Kansas City Royals aggressive offseason, the Milwaukee Brewers trade that sent a pair of former Rockies to KC and the lucrative contract for Chatfield HS's Tyler Rogers. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Why would trading Brenton Doyle to the small market Kansas City Royals signal major growth for the Colorado Rockies? | 12 Dec 2025 | 00:34:57 | |
There is hope in Denver that the new regime can bring about a last change in Colorado. With the worst record in MLB for much of the past 15-plus years, the Rockies are set to start doing business differently. That might mean trading someone like Brenton Doyle to the small market Kansas City Royals. Why would that not be so bad afterall? Jimmy Herget: starting pitcher. It’s been a decade since he’s had that role, but Colorado is considering stretching out the Human Glitch in 2026. Could it work? And do the Rockies need a lot more rotation help than that? Plus, the Baltimore Orioles cast aside a pair of Colorado catchers in as many days, David Dahl calls it a career and all the Rockies transactions during the last 25 Winter Meetings. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Rockies continue organization overhaul: new pitching coaches, another AGM and a pitcher from the Rule 5 Draft | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:25:31 | |
The vibes for the Colorado Rockies feel a lot different when the club was clearly rudderless at the end of the 2025 season. Just two-months later and a lot has change... for the better. How hopeful should fans be about the new pitching coaches brought in to revitalizing the pitching staff? And how long might it take until we see such progress? Colorado had the first overall pick in the Rule 5 Draft and they did not waste time making headlines. Where did RJ Petit come from? Exactly how large is this pitcher? Plus, a new Assistant General Manager, an updated philosophy for constructing the organization and Drew Romo continues to look for a new home. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||

How did Byrnes contribute to the Dodgers three World Series in the past six seasons? And which NL West clubs has he already been a GM for in the past?

The New York Mets may have a situation on their hands and the Colorado Rockies might be able to benefit from it. Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor reportedly have a “chilly” relationship. Since Soto has three-times the amount of money coming to him as Lindor has remaining on his deal, Lindor could be the one that gets shopped. Might Paul DePodesta make a phone call? Would it require Ezequiel Tovar in return? And does Colorado need to be this aggressive? MLB was pushed out the door by ESPN only to be brought back for the same amount of money.

A series loss in Philadelphia didn't help the Colorado Rockies feel better about their 2026, especially as a win by the San Francisco Giants on Sunday put the Rox back in last place in the NL West. Entering Mother's Day, he remarkable was it for Colorado to be in 4th place this late in the season? Warren Schaeffer's club has played a lot better on the road overall.

| Colorado to re-acquire Nolan Arenado from St. Louis? Did the Sandblaster learn from the Troy Tulowitzki trade? | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:30:59 | |
It's Nolan Arenado trade season again and St. Louis is more likely than ever to deal their future Hall of Fame third baseman. Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox signals the start of the Cardinals rebuild under Chaim Bloom. One thing stands in the way of Arenado changing uniforms: his no-trade clause. Would he ever bury the hatchet with Colorado? Did he learn anything from the Troy Tulowitzki divorce? Reaction from the news of Warren Schaeffer returning as manager of the Rockies has been mixed. While many understand the move, some have been critical. Is it fair? More importantly, is it logical?

| EMERGENCY POD: Warren Schaeffer back as manager of the Colorado Rockies: Why it makes sense, What it means for 2026 | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:24:01 | |
Paul DePodesta is putting the pieces in place for the Colorado Rockies and placing his fingerprint on the reconstruction of the organization.

| Michael Toglia gone, why new free agent Adolis García should entice Colorado and Brandon Nimmo traded to Texas | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:30:40 | |
Needed more free agents on the market? The non-tender deadline came and went late last week and several new players joined free agency, including several in whom the Rockies should have interest. Which Colorado-born players could they acquire? Did their Opening Day 2026 first baseman just become available? Five players will be tendered contracts for 2026, none of whom are Michael Toglia, who is officially out of the organization after Friday’s decision. Could Brenton Doyle be in line for a two-year deal? And what exactly does that mean for both him and the team?

Between Larry Walker, Todd Helton and Jim Leyland, the Colorado Rockies had three inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown over the course of four summers. Is there a fourth on the precipice of induction? Who is Dale Murphy and how strong are his odds? Zero members of the Rockies in 2025 were named on 120 National League ballots for honoring the best rookies, manager, pitchers and valuable players.

Paul DePodesta made his second trade in two days, sending LHP Ryan Rolison to Atlanta for cash considerations. How have Rockies first-round picks fared over the previous decade? And why did Colorado lose the 11th overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft? Colorado needs to add big league depth.

Colorado was one Juan Soto at-bat away from being swept by the New York Mets and extending their losing streak to seven games. However, Brennan Bernardino did his job (and did it well) and Jake McCarthy continued to rake. Was his eighth-inning grand slam fair or foul? Concern over Ethan Holliday's debut over 18 games last year were overblown.

So how can the Rockies get creative on the trade front? How can they simultaneously improve a disappointing farm system? A pair of Japanese players could also make their way into trade conversations.

Hunter Goodman already has an NL Silver Slugger Award to his name this offseason.

| Could new POBO Paul DePodesta convince Dick Monfort to spend more than usual in free agency this winter? | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:25:45 | |
Kris Bryant is the last free agent Colorado has signed to a multi-year guaranteed deal and the only one since the start of the 2020 season. Even if the Rockies rebuild takes a few years to build momentum, one or two signings this offseason could provide a jump start. How can Paul DePodesta convince owner Dick Monfort of making more serious investments? Colorado will not be swimming in the deep end of free agency with the likes of Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, Dylan Cease or Alex Bregman.

Hiring an NFL executive from one of the worst teams (Cleveland Browns) is an orthodox move for MLB’s Colorado Rockies. But Paul DePodesta has a background in baseball, most notably with the Oakland Athletics during their famed Moneyball period. What will DePo target as his priority for the last-place Rockies? How quickly can he bring them up to speed? Colorado would love to snap their streak of three consecutive 100-loss seasons. Can DePodesta divide and conquer by hiring his own General Manager?

The search is over for the Colorado Rockies head of baseball operations. Paul DePodesta, chief strategy office of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, is coming to Denver for his first GM role since captaining the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2004-05. How successful was he with the Browns? What was his baseball experience before his decade-long tenure in Cleveland? DePodesta is best known for his work with the Oakland Athletics during their great Moneyball movement, a period that sparked a best-seller by Michael Lewis and a film starring Brad Pitt. Who played Colorado’s new leader in the movie? And could his outside-the-box thinking spark a revolution for the Rockies?

Without a head of baseball operations to start the offseason and with their top two candidates having rebuffed them, will Dick Monfort change course to club's 5th-best option? What are the odds they go with an internal candidate as an interim GM for this next season? Someone pushed the "claim" button on Wednesday on 1B/OF Troy Johnston.

RHP Dugan Darnell, LHP Lucas Gilbreath and INF Aaron Schunk are gone from the Colorado Rockies as they prepare for the 2025-26 offseason despite not having made a decision about their top decision-maker. Who landed where? And who's become a free agent? The two sweetest words in all of sports: Game 7. Max Scherzer starts G7 for the first time since starting G7 for the Washington Nationals in 2019. Has Mookie Betts gotten off the schneid officially? Will we see Shohei Ohtani or Clayton Kershaw?

| Rockies near GM choice, Rocky Mountain Vibes no more and Jeff Hoffman’s sliding doors moment with Toronto | 30 Oct 2025 | 00:26:43 | |
If you think you saw Matt Forman of the Cleveland Guardians and/or Amiel Sawdaye of the Arizona Diamondbacks in Denver this week, you did. The two Assistant GMs were at Coors Field this week interviewing for the GM/POBO job left vacant by Bill Schmidt. Is Thursday (Oct. 30) the earliest an announcement will get made? How much are the Colorado looking at the schedules of the Broncos, Avalanche and Nuggets to schedule their press conference? Professional baseball in Colorado Springs is no more after 38 consecutive years with the Triple-A Sky Sox and Rocky Mountain Vibes. How much of this has to do with the Rockies?

| Hope for Adael Amador’s future, imaginary awards for Colorado and the best Rockies book you’ve never heard of | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:28:08 | |
If you're down on the farm system for the Colorado Rockies right now, it's understandable. However, one rookie who failed to perform in the Majors in 2025 actually performed quite well in Triple-A over his final month. Why should you be hopeful about 22-year-old Adael Amador? What history did he make with the Albuquerque Isotopes? The Denver Chapter of the BBWAA does not hand out end of season awards to players despite other chapters around the country doing so. What would those awards look like? And who would have won this year?

| Why Rockies’ void in Japan glares during global 2025 World Series and how the Angels became 2nd-class citizens in LA | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:25:01 | |
With 13 foreign countries represented in this year’s World Series, it truly feels like the Fall Classic is representing the globe. For example, we are seeing three Japanese-born players for the first time since the first time: the 2007 World Series (Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima and Colorado’s Kaz Matsui). Could this provide a good reminder to the Rockies about investing in Japan? Dave Roberts has only one NL Manager of the Year Award in his 10 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Is there a bias against him and/or the Dodgers? Does Roberts even care? Plus, a potential Coors Field media game with Patrick playing first base, the embarrassing optics coming from the Los Angeles Angels and Kiké Hernández makes Dodgers history. 🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider 🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675 https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut ✏️WRITTEN ✏️ https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/ https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/ 🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨 https://x.com/Rockies_Insider https://x.com/PatrickDLyons https://www.threads.net/@rockies_insider https://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlb https://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlb See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| Bo Bichette’s World Series record, Clayton Kershaw's snub and love for Colorado and Roy Halladay during Fall Classic | 27 Oct 2025 | 00:23:41 | |
We’ve got ourselves a World Series, folks. Toronto scored a massive Game 1 win thanks to a first-ever pinch-hit grand slam by Addison Barger while Los Angeles pulled even thanks to a historic performance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto. How many Hall of Famers have pulled off the feats of Yoshi this postseason? And why did Shohei Ohtani sprint around the bases? Bo Bichette made his first appearance since September 6 and immediately earned himself a knock. How rare is it for a player to miss so much action and then pull through in the clutch of the Fall Classic?

The marriage between the Philadelphia Phillies and Nick Castellanos has appeared to run its course. If the Colorado Rockies wanted to get creative and add to their farm system, a deal could be made this winter. Who says not for a Castellanos for Antonio Senzatela trade? Do the Rockies need to make more of these kinds of deals? A pair of purple prospects have been impressing in the Arizona Fall League and it’s not just Charlie Condon and Jared Thomas.

| How happy is Dick Monfort to see the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series? Was his email about a Tarik Skubal trade real? | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:28:54 | |
Dick Monfort is frustrated. His team has lost 323 games over the past three years and seems to feel like it wouldn’t have been the case were it not for large market clubs like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and other evil empires. So how could he possibly be excited to see the L.A. back in the Fall Classic? (Hint: it’s about money.) Colorado also needs to consider hiring someone with at least a little familiarity with Coors Field and the challenges of playing at altitude. Why is bringing in someone with track record of success from a consistently talented small market club like Milwaukee, Tampa Bay or Cleveland not enough to shift the losing culture in Denver?

Tomoyuki Sugano had no-hit stuff on Monday night and nearly matched a feat set only by Japanese Baseball Hall of Famer Hideo Nomo. Sugano, looking to be the first to throw a no-hitter for the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, fell short of the no-no, but proved why he's been Paul DePodesta's best signing. Has the pitching been a strength for Colorado overall? Mickey Moniak continues to rake. Were it not for an IL stint to start the year, he would be tops in terms of OPS in the National League.
