From a healthy Spring Training to success from any of the players participating in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, what would this year look like for the Colorado Rockies and their fan base to feel like a major success?

Would a successful season - 63 wins (and 99 losses) - speed up the timeline for the return of the black vests? Did the Miami Marlins just provide the blueprint for such a throwback jersey?

Plus, how Colorado could make the 2026 MLB Draft one of the best in years, acquiring a top 100 prospect and bringing back Troy Tulowitzki into the fold.

Day 1 of Spring Training for the Rockies is here! Pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday for the Colorado Rockies. Could we see a new first baseman signed by the Rox before the first full-squad workout in a week from today?

Dick Monfort has given the reigns of the Rockies to his son Walker Monfort. But was this because Colorado lost 100 games for the third season in a row? Does it have more to do with his increased role in the commissioner's office?

Plus, Trevor Story gets back an ex-Rockies double-play partner, Colorado signs more outfield depth for Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes and David Dahl jumps to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a new role.

For the first time in several years, Rockies fans will have an opportunity to hear their tv and radio broadcast crews a lot more this spring. How many games can be heard on KOA and seen on Rockies.tv? And what can you do if there is a game missing from the schedule?

Colorado also added a lot of fun promotions at Coors Field for this season. How many bobbleheads are currently on the schedule? Do the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats have even better promotions for 2026?

Plus, the Yard Goats get a new manager, NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady's professional baseball career and the baseball connection with Avatar 3: Fire and Ash.

Randy Johnson (Little Big League), Dennis Eckersley (Fever Pitch) and Derek Jeter (The Other Guys) are some Cooperstown legends who have starred in films in some shape or form. The Colorado Rockies, with only two Hall of Fame players in 33 seasons, don't quite have the same cache. However, there are a handful of Rox you might have missed over the years. Which player starred in Moneyball? What baseball classic features Bud Black?

The World Baseball Classic begins in exactly one month from today. Why the consternation over so many players not being allowed to play? Will this be a topic for negotiations when the current CBA ends after the season?

Plus, a Las Vegas A's star eclipses Ezequiel Tovar's extension, Nolan Arenado gets harassed and the full-length film that highlights the early majesty of Coors Field.

You may already love Coors Field. Millions of baseball fans do, even those that don't call it their home facility. But changes to Kauffman Stadium have definitively moved the ballpark at 20th & Blake Street into no. 1 in MLB. What did they do in Kansas City? And what category does Coors now lead?

Despite a farm system in need of repair, there is still a lot of talent that could progress ahead of expectations and make significant contributions to Colorado. Which prospects do Baseball America think will break out in 2026?

Plus, a baseball card of an Athletics player goes for half a million, the St. Louis Cardinals trade another All-Star and the starting pitching prospect that can hit and pitch from both sides.

Luis Arráez will not be coming to Denver to play for the Colorado Rockies. He will visit Coors Field - twice - as a member of the San Francisco Giants. Where will the three-time batting champ playing with San Fran? What options could the Rox turn to now at first base?

Walker Monfort spoke at the annual Friends of Baseball event (aka Breakfast of Champions) in Greeley. What did he share with Rockies fans? And what were his thoughts on the possibility of signing 1B Pete Alonso?

Plus, we officially begin the month that baseball returns, Drew Romo gets placed in DFA limbo once again and a Shawn Chacón sighting.

Hunter Goodman had the greatest offensive season for a catcher in Colorado Rockies history last season. Other than Cal Raleigh, a case can be made that he was the second best at his position in 2025. So where did he rank on MLB's Top 100 list? Could we see more or less on this list with a good 2026?

Charlie Condon and Ethan Holliday can be found on virtually every Top 100 Prospects list around the game. In what order are they appearing? How critical is Keith Law of Holliday's future position and first-year troubles?

Plus, a player acquired by the Rockies at last year's trade deadline is considered top 10 at his position, the stat that will surprise you about how much Colorado hoards its own prospects and Kyle Freeland's potential at one more sizable contract.
