No, this isn’t about perennial All-Star and the face of the franchise, Nolan Arenado. It is the man in the dugout making all of the decisions. Manager Bud Black is heading into his third and final year of the contract he signed after the 2016 season and the Colorado Rockies‘ organization need to decide on his future.
The Rockies signed Bud Black in the winter of 2016 after he was fired midway through his eighth season as the manager of the San Diego Padres. In those seasons, he compiled a record of 649-713 with zero playoff appearances and was named the 2010 NL Manager of the Year.
