Offseason In Review: Colorado Rockies

By Darragh McDonald | March 29, 2025 at 8:49am CDT

The Rockies are one of the few teams in the majors will no real shot at contending this year, so their offseason was understandably very quiet.

Major League Signings

  • IF Thairo Estrada: One year, $4MM (includes $750K buyout on 2026 mutual option)
  • IF Kyle Farmer: One year, $3.25MM (includes $750K buyout on 2026 mutual option)
  • C Jacob Stallings: One year, $2.5MM (includes $500K buyout on 2026 mutual option)
  • LHP Scott Alexander: One year, $2MM
  • OF Mickey Moniak: One year, $1.25MM

2025 spending: $13MM
Total spending: $13MM

Option Decisions

  • C Jacob Stallings declined mutual option (later re-signed)

Trades and Claims

  • Acquired IF Owen Miller from Brewers for cash considerations
  • Claimed RHP Jimmy Herget off waivers from Cubs
  • Acquired IF/OF Tyler Freeman from Guardians for OF Nolan Jones

Notable Minor League Signings

  • Jack O'Loughlin, Austin Nola, Diego Castillo, Jake Woodford (later released), Keston Hiura, Nick Martini (later added to 40-man), Tommy Doyle

Extensions

  • None

Notable Losses

  • Charlie Blackmon (retired), Jake Cave, Dakota Hudson, Peter Lambert, Elehuris Montero, Brendan Rodgers (non-tendered), Cal Quantrill (non-tendered), Justin Lawrence (waivers), Nolan Jones, Greg Jones (waivers)

There wasn't a lot of momentum for the Rockies going into the winter. 2024 was their sixth straight losing season. It was their second in a row getting to triple-digit losses. In the age of the expanded playoffs, most clubs are at least theoretical contenders, but the Rockies are one of a few that are clearly on the outside.

Such a team could perhaps find itself in plenty of offseason rumors anyway. The White Sox were coming off an atrocious 2024 season but still had notable trade candidates to talk about in Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr. The Rockies have been reluctant to make such moves, however. Ryan McMahon could have been an exciting offseason trade candidate if there was any indication the Rockies were open to moving him, but that has never seemed likely.

There were some reports early in the offseason with a bit of smoke, to a degree. The Rockies were reportedly looking to lower payroll, not surprising given their circumstances. They had some openness to trading Brendan Rodgers, Cal Quantrill and Justin Lawrence. They clearly didn't find much interest. Rodgers and Quantrill were later non-tendered. Lawrence was put on waivers and claimed by the Pirates.

    I feel like the Rox are in a holding pattern like the Angels – nothing will get meaningfully better for either team until they have new ownership. Its too bad because Denver is a great sports city, in general, and a great baseball city.

      Yes, it is really a shame because Denver is a great city and I love that stadium.

        Good point. I forgot to mention the awesome stadium and surrounding restaurants and bars. Great place to take in a game.

    Monforts have a cash cow in the Rockies. They have built great restaurants and shopping around the stadium. They rank in the top 10 in attendance as Coors Field is a beautiful stadium. Only Kris Bryant rates as a bad contract. Tovar and Doyle are very good young talents and fun to watch. They can’t compete with the Dodgers open wallet though.

    Core Needs Analysis:

    Starting Pitching:

    This remains a significant weakness. The Rockies struggle to attract and retain quality starting pitching.
    Grade: D-

    Bullpen:

    The bullpen has seen a lot of change, and there are a lot of question marks surrounding its effectiveness.
    Grade: D

    Offensive Consistency:

    While Coors Field can inflate offensive numbers, the team lacks consistent offensive production.
    Grade: D+

    Overall Team Direction:

    The team is in a position where they are not trying to compete in the short term.
    Grade: D

    Overall Offseason Grade: D

    A realistic win prediction would be:
    60-65 wins.
