Earlier this week we learned the fact that the Colorado Rockies will likely cut payroll a bit for the 2025 season. While that news isn’t surprising, the way the team will go about accomplishing that goal is always of interest to me as someone who loves the process of roster construction. After all, I have spent countless hours playing franchise modes in MLB The Show and Out of the Park Baseball along with years of playing Fantasy Baseball.
Much of the payroll cutting will occur in the first couple of weeks of the offseason with money coming off the books via free agency and deciding what to do with arbitration-eligible players.
