Rockies manager Bud Black, who is entering the final year of his contract, has begun talks with owner Dick Monfort about a possible extension, according to a report Sunday by MLB.com. No deal has been reached, but signing Black to an extension through 2025 would ensure he wouldn't work the 2024 season as a “lame-duck” manager. Black, 66, is entering his eighth season with Colorado. The Rockies, however, have endured five consecutive losing seasons and lost 103 games last season, the first time the club had ever lost 100 or more games.

If Kris Bryant put his bat on the ball as quickly as he put a foot in his mouth, there's no story. Almost as soon as it was presumed he'd thrown his teammates under a slew of metaphorical buses, Bryant ran out in the middle of traffic, on his own, to try and mitigate the roadkill. In the most buzz-worthy — and cringe-worthy — nugget to emerge from Rockies camp, Bryant told The Athletic late last month that he didn't “do as much research into (Colorado's) prospects as I could.”

Yu-Min Lin Shines for D-backs in Spring Breakout Game The Diamondbacks top pitching prospect led a parade of six pitchers that shut down the Rockies in a 3-1 victory Author: Jack Sommers Mar 16, 2024 10:48 PM EDT In this story: Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies When Yu-Min Lin pitched in his first big league camp game he didn't feel natural and relaxed, and it showed. In his lone outing, he recorded just one out while giving up five earned runs on four hits, a homer and two walks. Worse yet, his body language was poor, allowing his frustration to show. In Saturday night's 3-1 D-backs victory over the Rockies in the Spring Breakout it was a different story. Lin threw two innings,

Strike 3: It's no secret that the Colorado Rockies are knee-deep in another youth movement. Casual fans will need to keep their phones available at Coors Field later this season to get the lowdown on many of the players stepping up to home plate for the guys in purple pinstripes. Fans will start the new season watching familiar faces like Charlie Blackmon, Ryan McMahon, Elias Diaz, Kyle Freeland and Kris Bryant (hopefully) take the field at 20th and Blake.

With less than two weeks remaining before the Rockies' season-opener on March 28 at Chase Field against the defending National League champion Diamondbacks, the Rockies' starting rotation is almost set. The final spot appears to be between right-handers Dakota Hudson and Peter Lambert. For the Rockies to have any chance to improve from a franchise-worst 103-loss season, the starters have to stay healthy and pitch deeper into games. Colorado starters posted a 5.91 ERA last season, the highest in the majors and the second-highest in franchise history behind the 1999 team (6.19).

It's been a tale of two seasons for the Colorado Rockies' bats thus far through spring training. Outside of finishing fourth in the MLB in both doubles and triples, the Rockies finished the 2023 season on the outside looking in for every positive major hitting statistic with zero top-15 marks. Nearly six months later, the Rockies have done a complete 180 at the plate. Contradictory to the current weather in Denver, their home base, the Rockies' bats have been blistering through their first 19 Cactus League games, sitting top 10 in nearly every hitting stat they struggled in last season.
