Rockies Mailbag: How long before GM Bill Schmidt is on the hot seat?

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.

I understand that the fan base is upset by the Rockies not going outside for their general manager but the reality is it happened. Now, when is it realistic (for) Bill Schmidt to be on the hot seat? I can’t see (owner Dick) Monfort even thinking about it until after 2024.

Carson, it’s a bit early to be writing Schmidt’s professional obituary, don’t you think?

I believe the Rockies should have gone outside the walls of 20th and Blake when they changed the front office in the wake of Jeff Bridich’s departure last April.
