    • What will the Colorado Rockies outfield look like in 2026?
    Something that Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta said at Rockies Fest has stayed with me. I’m paraphrasing, but he told fans to expect to see players in spring training games playing positions they have not generally been associated with. We’ve discussed this notion of “optionality” quite a bit. (See here and here.) […]...2026

    • Can Rockies fans trust curiosity and an invisible process in 2026?

    • Rockies course correction depends on learning from failure
    As one of the 5,000 Rockies fans to hear from the new front office and coaching staff and lean into the new-look Rockies organization at Rockies Fest on Jan. 24, I was struck by three things: First, a genuine feeling of optimism.
