• Who is Roki Sasaki? Is he more like Shohei Ohtani or Yoshinobu Yamamoto? Dodgers or Padres bound?
    2024/11/12

    Roki Sasaki is the latest Japanese pitching phenom who is poised to take Major League Baseball by storm after success in NPB. How is his choice to come stateside like that of Shohei Ohtani in 2017? Is he as good as Yoshinobu Yamamoto? If so, why will Sasaki make less than $1 million in 2025?

    The Colorado Rockies haven't had a Japanese-born player since Kaz Matsui in 2007. Despite the need to cut payroll, Sasaki won't break the bank. Could they end up with the largest international bonus pool and offer the 23-year-old more than any other MLB club?

    2024/11/09

    2024/11/07

    The GM Meetings in San Antonio, TX welcomed super agent Scott Boras and his traveling circus. What kind of clever wordplay did the founder of Boras Corp. spin regarding Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, Corbin Burnes and Alex Bregman?

    Colorado is in pursuit of bullpen help and San Francisco Giants’ new POBO Buster Posey has been fielding calls about Camilo Doval. Could the All-Star closer be a trade target for the Rockies?

  • Now What? Rockies lose Jacob Stallings, bad news on Tropicana Field and the Savannah Bananas prepare for Denver
    2024/11/06

    Tropicana Field has been ravaged by Hurricane Milton and the news out of St. Petersberg isn’t very promising. The Tampa Bay Rays will almost certainly not play the Colorado Rockies on Opening Day 2025 at The Trop.

    Plus, what impact does this have on the Savannah Bananas famous Banana Ball World Tour? How can you get tickets at Coors Field this summer to see them play? And could we see Deion Sanders, Troy Tulowitzki or Charlie Blackmon at the plate?

    Colorado also loses Jacob Stallings to free agency. In a small free agent catching market, Stallings may force the Rockies to spend more than originally imagined with two rookie catchers waiting in the wings.

  • Gold Glove Awards (x2): Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar make history for winning the top defensive honor in MLB
    2024/11/05

    Ezequiel Tovar won his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award for best defender at shortstop becoming the youngest in NL history at the position. Brenton Doyle was honored with his second consecutive win in center field and first to do it in the National League over their first two seasons.

    That wasn’t all for the Colorado Rockies. Kyle Karros, 5th round pick in 2023, won a Minor League Gold Glove Award with High-A Spokane for his defense play at third base. Couple with winning the Northwest League MVP, Karros is a strong candidate to shoot up prospect rankings ahead of the 2025 season.

    Plus, GM Bill Schmidt makes his first trade and what to expect during this week's GM Meetings in San Antonio.
