2026 Rockies: New Leadership, New Direction

The Colorado Rockies enter 2026 under completely new baseball leadership following a 43-119 season in 2025 – one of the worst records in franchise history. Owner Dick Monfort hired Paul DePodesta as president of baseball operations in November 2025, bringing in a respected executive known for his analytical approach to roster building.

DePodesta’s key moves include:

• Hiring Josh Byrnes as general manager (former Rockies assistant GM with experience at altitude)
• Removing the interim tag from manager Warren Schaeffer
• Signing veteran starter Michael Lorenzen to add rotation depth
• Establishing competition at nearly every position for spring training

Key Players to Watch in Spring Training

The Rockies’ core strength lies up the middle of the diamond with three young building blocks:

Ezequiel Tovar (SS) – The 24-year-old Venezuelan is MLB.com’s bounce-back candidate for the Rockies. After a Gold Glove 2024 season with 26 home runs and a league-leading 45 doubles, Tovar was limited to 95 games in 2025 due to hip and oblique injuries. He’s worked hard this offseason, dropping weight and strengthening his core. Tovar will also represent Venezuela in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

Hunter Goodman (C) – The 26-year-old catcher emerged as a franchise cornerstone in 2025, earning All-Star honors and winning the National League Silver Slugger Award. He slashed .278/.323/.520 with 31 home runs and 91 RBI – arguably the best offensive season by a catcher in Rockies history.

Brenton Doyle (CF) – A two-time Gold Glove winner, Doyle is considered one of baseball’s elite defensive center fielders. While his 2025 offensive numbers (.233/.274/.376) disappointed, he showed flashes of his 2024 form (23 HR, 30 SB) late in the season. DePodesta has acknowledged trade interest in Doyle but values his defensive impact at Coors Field.

Top Prospects at Spring Training

Spring training provides the first look at Colorado’s next wave of talent:

Charlie Condon (1B/OF) – The 3rd overall pick in 2024 and Golden Spikes Award winner had a strong finish to 2025, earning a promotion to Double-A Hartford and playing in the Futures Game. A good spring could land him at Triple-A Albuquerque to start the season. He’s ranked as the Rockies’ #2 prospect and #61 overall by MLB Pipeline.

Ethan Holliday (3B) – The 4th overall pick in 2024, Holliday is the #1 prospect in the Rockies system. The son of former All-Star Matt Holliday, Ethan is a potential impact bat with big shoes to fill in Colorado.
