Rocky Mountain Rooftop

As expected the #Rockies will have the 10th overall pick of the 2026 draft! The White Sox snagged the #1 pick after being ineligible last year despite setting the modern era loss record.

Rockies announced some interesting pitching roles for the 2026 season! They've got their work cut out for them for sure!

This week, Skyler and Evan dive into the hiring of new #Rockies GM Josh Byrnes and the latest batch of roster movies while figuring out what this all signals for the Rox moving forward. @ffsn.bsky.social

Good morning everyone! Due to some technical difficulties, we'll only have the audio version of Affected by Altitude going up this morning. We hope to have the video version up later this week on our YouTube channel. Thanks for listening!

Hunter Goodman's offensive emergence kicked Romo down the depth chart and they've liked what they've seen in Braxton Fulford. Leaves little room for Romo to get actual playing time, especially after the problems they perceived for him in his brief stints.

Personally hate to see Romo claimed off waivers, but we wish our Friend of the Show the best of luck with the Orioles and hope he gets the legit big league chance he just wasn't going to get in Colorado

I'd say too early to tell, but likely any team that is willing to part with some big league ready pitching with team control

Doyle seems most likely right?

The Rockies are checking things off of the To-Do List:
✅️ Hire President of Baseball Ops
✅️ Hire GM
✅️ Hire Manager

What comes next?

The Rockies are set to hire Dodgers senior vice president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes away as their new general manager. He's experienced in the NL West & returns to the Rox after working as an Assistant GM from 2000-02.

Evan and Skyler discuss the official hiring of Warren Schaeffer to be the eighth full-time manager of the Colorado Rockies. @ffsn.bsky.social

What's a Black Friday player deal you'd make today if you were Paul DePodesta?

Happy Thanksgiving friends! We are so thankful for those that take the time to listen to us each week!

Paul DePodesta is making moves! Between trades, minor league signings, non-tenders, 40-man protections, & arbitration, the #Rockies are starting to take shape for '26 @ffsn.bsky.social

The #Rockies are expected to name Paul DePodesta their head of baseball ops tomorrow. He has been with the Browns in the NFL since 2016, but he has long history in MLB, including being 2nd in command during the Moneyball Era in Oakland.
It's reported he will hire a GM and staff

Congrats to Hunter Goodman on being named the Silver Slugger winner for NL Catchers!
Goody deserved it outright thanks to not only the best season by a Rockies catcher but one of the best by a NL catcher in many many years!
