When the Rockies signed Thairo Estrada to a one-year deal ahead of the 2025 season, it seemed like the team had an answer — at least in the short-term — at second base in the post-Brendan Rodgers era. Injuries derailed that plan as Estrada started and ended the season on the 60-Day IL twice, first with a […]

If you’ve heard much about RHP John Brebbia, it might have something to do with his beard — which has a story all its own. (More on that in a minute.) Right now, however, the reliever is working to make the Colorado Rockies as they begin to shore up their Opening Day roster. Last weekend, […]
More than 750 players have appeared in a Rockies game — but only about 200 have ever started on Opening Day. As spring training is in full swing and Opening Day is approaching quickly (seriously… how is it March 14th already?!), there are still plenty of roster battles playing out. The Colorado Rockies will open the season in Miami on March 27, and the […]

Today, I present you the results from Monday’s poll: The majority of fans believe that INF Willi Castro. Castro has gone 3-f0r-10 […]

The National League Central could be the most highly volatile, wide open division of the 2026 season. The Central was red hot in 2025, producing three of the six playoff teams in the NL. It looked like the year that the Chicago Cubs might finally dethrone the Milwaukee Brewers, but the Brew Crew rocketed up […]
From 2013 onward, third base for the Rockies had been synonymous with only two names: Nolan Arenado and then Ryan McMahon. Because of those two, Colorado has had a Gold Glove finalist at the hot corner each of the past 13 seasons. It has been one of the most stable positions in the entire league. […]

Even now, years later, it still visits me in dreams — the slow chopper that turns into a barehand play; the diving backhand deep in the hole; the thrill of a perfectly timed double play. Shortstop lives at the heart of the diamond. Every ground ball feels like it might […]
In March the sun rises in Arizona just before 7:00 a.m. It varies slightly from team to team but, for decades spring training work has generally been expected to start around that time.
