There is hope in Denver that the new regime can bring about a last change in Colorado. With the worst record in MLB for much of the past 15-plus years, the Rockies are set to start doing business differently. That might mean trading someone like Brenton Doyle to the small market Kansas City Royals. Why would that not be so bad afterall?

Jimmy Herget: starting pitcher. It’s been a decade since he’s had that role, but Colorado is considering stretching out the Human Glitch in 2026. Could it work? And do the Rockies need a lot more rotation help than that?

Plus, the Baltimore Orioles cast aside a pair of Colorado catchers in as many days, David Dahl calls it a career and all the Rockies transactions during the last 25 Winter Meetings.

The vibes for the Colorado Rockies feel a lot different when the club was clearly rudderless at the end of the 2025 season. Just two-months later and a lot has change... for the better.

ESPN wrote that Kyle Freeland could be traded by the Colorado Rockies this offseason during their rebuild with new front office executives Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes. How likely is this to happen? What are the complications of such a move?

Rockies farm system has more flaws than many would like to admit. Still, could we see another team or two poach a prospect in Wednesday's Rule 5 Draft?

Colorado checks off a major to-do from their offseason wishlist by hiring Josh Byrnes away from the Los Angeles Dodgers. How did Byrnes contribute to the Dodgers three World Series in the past six seasons? And which NL West clubs has he already been a GM for in the past?

It doesn’t take a genius to realize the Rockies have been pretty broken since the Nolan Arenado trade. A recent article from Yahoo! Sports highlights the dysfunction at 20th & Blake. Just how bad has it been? Are things truly turning around finally?

Plus, Paul DePodesta gets a hype video and Sam Hilliard signs a deal to play baseball in Asia.

The New York Mets may have a situation on their hands and the Colorado Rockies might be able to benefit from it. Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor reportedly have a “chilly” relationship. Since Soto has three-times the amount of money coming to him as Lindor has remaining on his deal, Lindor could be the one that gets shopped. Might Paul DePodesta make a phone call? Would it require Ezequiel Tovar in return? And does Colorado need to be this aggressive?

MLB was pushed out the door by ESPN only to be brought back for the same amount of money. Is the game in a good place right now nationally? Is the game in a bad place right now locally in Denver?

Plus, the most anonymous Colorado Rockie, seeing a Gold Glover at Chipotle and the most recognizable Rockie of all-time.

MLB.com has a penchant for floating trade candidates each winter and this offseason is no exception. Both Victor Vodnik and Brenton Doyle have been listed as players other teams will covet in their quests for a World Series. Why does it make more sense to wait a year to deal both? And are the Rockies going to be patient while Paul DePodesta figures out a few things?

Is it possible the Rockies haven't made up a calendar for 2026? Which players would have been used for the 12 months? And would you ever engage in a fantasy calendar draft for 2027?

Plus, wishing for a WWE event - or any other kind of sports entertainment - at Coors Field, future centerfield options and a Rockies trivia question to make you think.
