“Our games so far this season, especially coming out of the last two seasons, have been unacceptable,” Rockie’s team owner Dick Monfort said in a statement. “Our fans deserve better and we are able to better. While we all share responsibility in how this season has played, these changes are needed.
“We will use the rest of 2025 to improve where we can in the field and to evaluate all areas of our operation until we can properly transform the page into the next chapter in Rockie’s baseball.”
