Colorado Rockies consecutive 100-loss seasons

Overview

The Colorado Rockies have concluded their 2026 campaign, marking their fourth consecutive season with at least 100 losses. This achievement ties the record held by the 1962–1965 New York Mets. While the team lost 102 games this year—a slight improvement over the previous season—the franchise set a modern baseball record for the worst season run differential.

Despite the team’s overall struggles, individual performances stood out. Jake McCarthy pursued a rare statistical milestone involving doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases, while catcher Hunter Goodman approached 40 home runs, eventually finishing with 41. Rookie TJ Rumfield also provided stability at first base, and Mickey Moniak provided consistent offensive contributions.

In response to the team’s performance and mounting pressure, significant organizational changes have been implemented. CEO Dick Monfort appointed Paul DePodesta as president of baseball operations and Josh Byrnes as general manager. Additionally, to manage rising debts, Monfort sold a 40% stake in the club to Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner.

Following the season, President Walker Monfort and Paul DePodesta addressed the team’s performance, noting progress in increasing the win total by 15 games. As part of a business effort to bridge the gap with the Major League Baseball average, the Rockies are raising ticket prices by approximately 12%.

As the team evaluates offseason moves, leadership is discussing the need for an aggressive strategy to address a critical pitching weakness. While the bullpen showed late-season improvements from players like Brennan Bernardino, Juan Mejia, and Jimmy Herget, the starting rotation struggled significantly, posting a 7.00 ERA after the trade deadline.
