Mickey Moniak Colorado Rockies two‑year extension $16.25 million Paul DePodesta

The Colorado Rockies announced a two‑year contract extension with outfielder Mickey Moniak worth $16.25 million, covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The deal pays Moniak $7.25 million in 2027 and $9 million in 2028, after his $4 million salary for the current year.

Moniak, 28, is batting .277 with 18 home runs and 49 RBIs in 75 games this season, posting a .577 slugging percentage (second in the majors) and a .901 OPS (fifth). The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft has played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Angels and the Rockies since joining Colorado in March 2025. He said, “It’s no secret that I love it here,” and expressed excitement about helping the team’s resurgence.

President of baseball operations Paul DePodesta called Moniak “an important part of what we’re doing here,” noting his leadership in the clubhouse. The extension follows a series of deadline trades and reflects the Rockies’ effort to build a competitive roster after several losing seasons; the club has not posted a winning record or reached the playoffs since 2018.
