Renck vs. Keeler: Do Rockies have a plan? Why did they demote Zac Veen?

Renck: With the Rockies, wait til next year is not a reason for optimism, but a warning. They have strung together six consecutive losing seasons, including the past two with more than 100 losses. But 2025 was supposed to be different, a time when a core of young players began executing a slow U-turn to relevancy. Then this. The Rockies ownership and management asks fans to believe in their top prospects and outfielder Zac Veen gets demoted back to the minor leagues. Do the Rockies have a plan for this season or was something else going on with Veen’s demotion?
