Since 1995, the Colorado Rockies have posted nine winning seasons, five playoff appearances, one World Series appearance and 20 losing seasons. In the same time peroid, the Kansas City Royals have recorded five winning seasons, two American League pennants with one World Series title and they posted 24 losing seasons — seven of which hit the 100-loss mark.
In 2023, the Rockies and Royals each set the franchise records for most losses, but the responses and 2024 results have differed drastically in Colorado and Kansas City. As the Royals and Rockies face off today in a three-game series, it would be a good time for the Colorado front office to take notes and learn how to turn an organization around.
