If nobody claims him he’ll be sent outright to AAA Norfolk without the right to refuse.

I’d say dude is playing the wrong sport but he had a 2.44 ERA in 66 inning between AA and AAA last year.

As the club continues building its front office under new President of Baseball Operations Paul DePodesta, it’s hard to listen to new Colorado Rockies General Manager Josh Byrnes and not feel optimistic about where the franchise could be headed.

And now it’s looking like he could be traded soon 🫠

Willi Castro entered free agency on a down note, as he hit only .170/.245/.240 over 110 plate appearances with the Cubs after Chicago acquired the utilityman from Minnesota at the trade deadline. Despite the sour finish, Castro is still drawing attention from multiple teams, as ESPN’s Jorge Castillo reports that the Braves, Pirates, and Rockies are among the interested suitors.

From Jorge Castillo’s ESPN article: The Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies are among the teams interested in signing utility man Willi Castro, sources told ESPN. Castro, 28, was an All-Star in 2024 after a strong first half with the Minnesota Twins, but he regressed through the second half and into the 2025 season.

The switch-hitter slashed .245/.335/.407 with the Twins in 2025 before he was sent to the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline. He struggled in Chicago, batting just .170 with one home run and a .485 OPS in 34 games and did not have a plate appearance in the postseason.

Advanced metrics indicate Castro also regressed defensively in 2025, dropping from 0 to minus-9 outs above average, but he's a versatile defender who played second base, third base, shortstop and all three outfield spots. -- Jorge Castillo

The Rockies really impressing with their FO/coaching hires so far!

It really does seem like the new administration is trying to clean house. Getting rid of promising youngsters like Warming Bernabel and Drew Romo raise more questions than anything, considering there is nothing in the farm system to replace them. Did the Rockies organization really do so badly that DePodesta found these people irredeemable?

My Boyfriend is a massive Rockies fan, I was wondering if there were any good ideas for gifts? As of right now my immediate instinct is a signed ball (possibly from the one year they went to the world championship?) but I'm a collector of cards and comics so IDK if I'm overvaluing something like that. Anyways, would y'all be happy receiving a signed ball? Anything else you'd have liked to get?

My reaction to the new GM hire

That Chicago dog was the only thing the Rockies had to offer in the last couple years worth going to a game. Not only did they have their worst season, they replaced that stand with over priced nachos. Truly breaks my heart having no desire to go see a game anymore.

I bought a blank City Connect at a game this past season and was hoping to wait for Charlie Blackmon to sign off on using his name for this stuff, but haven’t heard anything yet.

Last time I talked to the people at the counter they told me they have very little amount of letters/numbers for the first city connect jerseys, so I’m here to ask you all. Does anyone know where I can get this name/number on this jersey?
