PHOENIX — Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt doesn’t do timetables. Or predictions. At least not publicly.
But after six consecutive losing seasons, including back-to-back 100-loss seasons in 2023-24, Schmidt was decidedly upbeat Tuesday at the annual Cactus League media day.
“The young guys, the talent that’s in this camp, they are getting closer to being able to be a factor on the ballclub,” said Schmidt, who’s entering his fourth season as the GM. “We’ll see where that goes.”
Schmidt added that the Rockies have their most competitive spring training in at least the last three years.
