Colorado Rockies vs. Kansas City Royals game discussion: Michael Wacha vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
The Colorado Rockies (42-67) return to Coors Field tonight to open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals (46-64). Colorado has not won since beating the Milwaukee Brewers last Friday.

Rockies activate Brenton Doyle from IL, option Braxton Fulford
The Rockies announced today that they have activated Brenton Doyle from the injured list and, to make room on the active roster, they optioned Braxton Fulford to Triple-A. Doyle has been on the IL since being removed from a game on May 19th against the Texas Rangers after injuring himself on a diving play in […]
With trade deadline looming, which Rockies should stay and who should go?
Perhaps it’s fitting that in a season where the Rockies lead the league in scoring runs in the eighth inning or later, Rockies fans also have to wait until the 11th hour to see any action before the trade deadline hits on Monday, Aug. 3 at 4:00 p.m. MT. With Colorado’s reputation of favoring loyalty […]
Purple Row After Dark: Looking back at last year’s deadline
Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is just a few days away. On Monday, August 3rd at 4:00 PM MT, the Colorado Rockies will hopefully have had one of their most active deadlines in recent memory. With a new front office helmed by president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes, it has […]
Is Hunter Goodman’s defense really something to worry about?
The Colorado Rockies are likely fielding plenty of calls leading up to the MLB Trade Deadline on Monday, with a fair share presumably focusing on All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman. The Rockies have made no indication that Goodman is going to get moved, and the asking price is reportedly high, but it’s still wise to let […]
Colorado Rockies 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Tracker, July 30
The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week, but it’s a new day, so we can all hope for action. As the day progresses, we’ll keep this tracker updated with the most […]
Will fielding errors define this new era of Rockies baseball?
Before Opening Day 2025, Rockies owner Dick Monfort made this comment:“The infield, quite honestly — and if you like defense, (and) I like defense — will be the best defense, maybe in the history of the game.” That was, at the time and now, an amusingly optimistic exaggeration. The thing is, the basic sentiment wasn’t […]
Purple Row After Dark: Who are you supporting in the WPBL?
Update July 30: The broadcast options had been unannounced at time of original publication of this article. We had erroneously stated that the Opening Day games would be streamed on the league’s Youtube Channel. Today, ESPN has announced a partnership with the WPBL to stream their games: A new baseball league is on the verge […]
Rockies bats can’t solve Padres bullpen in 3-1 loss
After a thrilling back-and-forth affair on Tuesday night, the Colorado Rockies hoped to snag a win in San Diego to wrap up the road trip. Unfortunately, the bats fell silent as strikeouts were abundant and Colorado fell 3-1. The Rockies also went 0-7 when playing in San Diego this season. Another day at the office […]
Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres game discussion: Gabriel Hughes vs. Kyle Hart
Sloppy defense and ineffective pitching led to a gut-punch loss for the Colorado Rockies Tuesday night. The Rockies had four errors and allowed six walks, making it hard to quell the continuous pressure from the San Diego Padres. Now, the Rockies look to snag a series split to close out the short stint against the […]

Reacting to your Rockies trade proposals
The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline on August 3 is drawing ever closer. Over the weekend, the Colorado Rockies made clear which players are definitely available for trade, and it’s not a surprising list. Of course, anything is possible, and teams are likely still calling about other players mentioned. So, last Friday, I asked the Purple […]
Rockies come out on the wrong side of a sloppy game, lose to the Padres 8-7
Weird things happen when the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres get together, and tonight’s game was one of many such occasions in the history of this rivalry. The first of two in San Diego had it all. Terrible defense, many different pitchers, chair interference, multiple ejections from the Padres’ bench—including manager Craig Stammen—and finally […]

Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres game discussion: Michael Lorenzen vs Michael King
It’s been a weird week of travel for the Colorado Rockies. They had a Thursday off in the first week of the second half, played a three game set in The Good Land against the Brew Crew, and after having yesterday off it’s time for a bizarre two-game series against the San Diego Padres. The […]
Zac Veen found the power without paying for it
The swing scouts wrote poems about in 2020 has finally shown up in a box score, and it arrived without the wreckage that usually accompanies it. Zac Veen (PuRP No. 9), in his second full season at Triple-A Albuquerque, is doing damage at a rate he has never approached as a professional. He is slugging […]

What is the Rockies “core” going forward?
Yesterday in The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon wrote about Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman’s questionable defensive skills and how they might affect his trade value going forward. We’ve talked about that quite a bit already, but I just have to say to those executives who want to move Goodman out of the catcher […]
Mickey Moniak makes impact both on and off the field for the Rockies
Whether it be on the field or in the clubhouse, Mickey Moniak has made his presence known in his two seasons with the Colorado Rockies.

What should the Rockies do with Brenton Doyle?
Two years ago, Brenton Doyle was playing out of his mind.
