The Colorado Rockies last week finished off their fifth consecutive losing season and sixth straight without a postseason berth, ending 2015 with a 68-94 record and settling for last place in the National League West.
Not many people expected the Rockies to perform well on the field, so in that sense, nobody should be surprised about the team's results. It was always supposed to be more about what was going to happen off the field than on it, and in many ways, that proved to be true. An earth-shattering trade sent the face of the franchise north of the border in July, and from that point forward, questions lingered about the future of many of the team's other most recognizable faces.
