Once again we have reached the final day of the off-season. Spring training is officially in the rearview and the Colorado Rockies have set their 26-man roster in anticipation for Friday’s Opening Day matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Unfortunately, the Rockies will start the 2025 season without a single true rookie on their roster. A rebuilding team that was supposed to be getting younger somehow got older despite the departure of 38-year-old Charlie Blackmon this season.
It’s extraordinarily disappointing that the Rockies chose to go in this direction, especially after multiple minor leaguers and prospects showed off their potential for this team’s future over 33 spring training games.
