Colorado Rockies conclude season with fourth consecutive 100-loss campaign
The Colorado Rockies have concluded another losing season, marking the fourth consecutive year the franchise has lost 100 or more games. The team's performance has placed them at the bottom of Major League Baseball history, with a 34-season winning percentage of .453, ranking 30th out of 30 current MLB teams.
In terms of statistical futility, the Rockies set a record for the worst season run differential in modern baseball history. While the team lost 102 games this season—a slight improvement from the previous year—the campaign was characterized by frequent large deficits.
To address mounting pressure regarding the team's direction, CEO Dick Monfort appointed Paul DePodesta as president of baseball operations and Josh Byrnes as general manager. Ownership has also seen shifts, with Monfort selling a 40% stake in the club to Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner to manage rising debts.
