As the Colorado Rockies prepare for the 2025 MLB season, they aim to rebound from consecutive 100-loss seasons, including a 61–101 record in 2024. The organization has made several roster adjustments and is focusing on the development of its young talent to foster improvement.
Offseason Moves
The Rockies have not been active in the offseason, b they signed second baseman Thairo Estrada to a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2026, aiming to strengthen their infield defense and provide additional offensive support. Utility player Kyle Farmer was also added on a one-year contract, bringing versatility and experience to the lineup. Additionally, the team re-signed catcher Jacob Stallings, ensuring stability behind the plate.
Player Development and Prospects
A key focus for the Rockies in 2025 is the progression of their young players. Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who earned his first Gold Glove in 2024 and led the National League in doubles (45), is expected to continue his offensive and defensive contributions. Center fielder Brenton Doyle, a two-time Gold Glove winner, has shown offensive improvements and remains a cornerstone of the team’s outfield defense.
On the pitching front, right-hander Ryan Feltner concluded the previous season with a 2.98 ERA over his last 15 starts, indicating his potential as a reliable starter. The organization is also optimistic about the arrival of top pitching prospect Chase Dollander, who is
anticipated to make his MLB debut by May, potentially providing a significant boost to the rotation.
Season Outlook
While the Rockies face challenges in a competitive National League West division, there is optimism surrounding the team’s young core and offseason acquisitions. Analysts project the Rockies to finish with a 72–90 record.
