DENVER — An afterthought with the New York Yankees in 2025, first baseman TJ Rumfield is a candidate for National League Rookie of the Year Award and the Rawlings Gold Glove Award with the Colorado Rockies in 2026.

With how Friday night shook out and with how the Colorado Rockies battled the Pittsburgh Pirates in their first meeting with Paul Skenes, tonight’s game had all the makings of another close one. Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) put together one of his best performances of 2026, if not the best. As expected, Skenes did Skenes […]

In a game that got a little too close for comfort in the later innings, the Colorado Rockies escaped with a series-opening 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates last night. The second game of the series and the homestand provides the Rockies with another shot at Paul Skenes this season in a top notch pitching […]
The Colorado Rockies always seem to a find their way into an outfield logjam. Admittedly, it took them slightly longer this year, but with Mickey Moniak beginning a rehab assignment with the Triple-Albuquerque Isotopes on Thursday—while Brenton Doyle and Jordan Beck are potentially nearing their own rehab assignments—things are about to get more crowded. The […]
The College World Series final is here, and the MLB Draft is not far behind it. That combo made me ask a simple Rockies question: Are there any players in Omaha this weekend who could soon be wearing Rockies purple? North Carolina and Oklahoma open a best-of-three championship series tonight — Saturday, June 20 — at 5 pm MDT at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. […]

Kyle Freeland gave Colorado seven brilliant innings, reached 1,000 career strikeouts, […]

The Rockies have released catcher Andrew Knizner, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been performing well, so it’s possible he triggered an opt-out. Either way, he’s a free agent and can now sign with any club. Knizner, 31, signed a one-year, $1MM major league deal with the Mariners in the offseason. That […]

Just a few short months ago, the Mets, Red Sox and Tigers seemed like safe bets to reach the 2026 MLB postseason, while the Cardinals, Nationals and White Sox appeared destined to battle the Rockies for the worst record in baseball.
Earlier this week, we asked you to vote on one of four position players to keep and build a team around: OF Jordan Beck, OF Brenton Doyle, C Hunter Goodman and SS Ezequiel Tovar. And the results were not very surprising. The overwhelming majority of folks voted that Goodman should be the one retained to […]
Last night the Cubs were able to take a series from the Colorado Rockies after winning 8-6 at Wrigley Field. However, the devil was really in the details of this particular victory. The Cubs were up 8-2 when the game was turned over to the bullpen, who surrendered a total of four runs in the […]
TJ Rumfield has been a pleasant revelation for the Colorado Rockies in 2026. After a strenuous mixed-bag of players to hold down first base for the last decade, the Rockies may have finally found some stability for the near future, thanks to Rumfield’s excellent play and composure. During the recent series against the Chicago Cubs, […]
Even when this team actually wins and wins a series, it ends up being vaguely disappointing. The Cubs won Wednesday night to salvage a split in the season series and a win in the Wrigley portion of the series. The Cubs outscored the Rockies in Denver 14-13, but only managed one win. The Rockies and […]
The Cubs finally had an offensive explosion Wednesday, after what seemed like weeks when the bats weren’t working. Dansby Swanson’s two-run homer highlighted a seven-run second inning. Now, something like this should generally make the game an easy win. The Cubs, though, did not do that, eventually letting the Rockies come to within two runs […]
This past spring, the Colorado Rockies new front office made it a priority to acquire short-term stopgaps for the starting rotation. They did this by bringing in three capable veteran arms — Michael Lorenzen, José Quintana, and Tomoyuki Sugano — on one-year deals that would provide depth and baseline competency. This was done, in part, […]
Above only the Rockies in the National League, the Giants are seemingly beginning preparation to sell at the deadline. The early focus has been on impending free agents Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray — as well as the team’s openness to shedding the Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman contracts. Those are all self-explanatory. Arraez is an […]
