Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort made a last-ditch effort to retain Walt Weiss as manager at the end of the season, according to Jon Heyman of Today's Knuckleball.
Weiss, whose strained relationship with general manager Jeff Bridich got to the point where it "wasn't healthy or productive," per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, reportedly told Monfort something to the effect of "there's no way we can go on like this," Heyman noted. Monfort, somewhat surprisingly, didn't intervene much beyond that and ultimately sided with Bridich and his desire to move on from Weiss.
