Weiss’s eyes started to glisten as he wrapped up his conference and thanked the media.
“You guys have always been courteous and fair to me. I thank each and every one of you for that,” Weiss said just before exiting the media room for what would be the last time as Rockies manager.
It was a sign that the end of his time in the Colorado dugout was near. On Monday morning, it was made official.
Less than 24 hours after the Rockies wrapped up their 2016 campaign, it was announced that Weiss had decided to step down as Colorado’s manager.
