In less than 100 days (98 to be exact), the Rockies will open the 2025 season.
In about 50 days, pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training, and on Feb. 21, the Rockies will play their first Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.
While there’s always the joy and hope of a new season to look forward to, it will also be strange not to have Charlie Blackmon out there.
Even though his first few seasons were plagued by injuries, Blackmon has been a Colorado fixture since 2011. Blackmon overlapped with Hall of Famer Todd Helton for three years with the Rockies after Helton ended his 17-year career in 2013.
