The Rockies don’t like the word “rebuilding.” They prefer “reconstruction.”
Colorado Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt, right, confers with assistant hitting coach Andy González, left, as players warm up before a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Monday, June 3, 2024, in Denver. Regardless of what they call it, the team is transitioning as it trends toward its second consecutive 100-loss season.
While Schmidt shies away from trade speculation, he has said he’s open to almost any deal if it will help the Rockies field a winning team in 2025, ’26 or ’27.Despite plenty of rumors and speculation, there is nearly zero chance the Rockies will move “RyMac,” who has a chance to be a first-time All-Star this summer. Why? The Rockies love the left side of their infield, featuring McMahon and shortstop Ezequiel Tovar. And because owner Dick Monfort loves McMahon.
Remember, just before the 2022 trade deadline, the Rockies gave 37-year-old closer Daniel Bard a two-year, $19 million contract extension through this season. That deal did not work out well, and Bard is out for the season with an elbow injury.After the 2022 season, the Rockies and Marlins discussed a trade involving Rodgers, the ’22 Gold Glove winner, and starter Edwin Cabrera, but the Marlins went in another direction.
