Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Colorado had some bullpen issues last year.
I know, what a novel concept, right? This has been a consistent thorn in the Rockies’ collective sides for years now, and even with various attempts to remedy things such as bringing on veteran arms or giving opportunities to deserving newcomers, they’ve still found themselves searching for answers in the late stages of their games.
Entering the 2025 season, things haven’t become all that much clearer. Colorado has thus far elected to run it back with virtually the same group of hurlers, seemingly relying on one or multiple of their young pitchers to take leaps and cement themselves as valuable assets for the future.
