The Colorado Rockies will have to make many decisions this winter as they try to reconstruct and rebuild their way to contention. They have already settled their first matter of business, extending Bud Black to serve as the manager for one more year, bringing to the table the next pressing matter they will have to address in one month.
The 40-man roster deadline will occur in a little under a month. Teams across the league will assess prospects who are Rule-5 Draft-eligible and whether to protect them on the 40-man roster or risk losing them to another team.
