The Colorado Rockies issued a postseason video message to 2026 season ticketholders highlighting positive moments from a campaign that ended with a 58-104 record, according to a column published by The Colorado Sun. Columnist Mike Littwin reported that the promotional clip sidestepped the team’s four-year streak of losing at least 100 games, matching a dubious milestone previously set by the 1962-65 expansion New York Mets.
Postseason Video Avoids Four-Year 100-Loss Milestone
Management’s year-end message to loyal fans included game highlights without acknowledging the franchise’s sustained futility. Littwin noted that the video featured no mention of the four-year century-loss streak or the fact that a Rockies starting pitcher failed to win a game after August 26. The production concluded with a brief acknowledgment from management stating, “We need to be better” and ending with the written text, “The climb continues.”
Front Office Shakeup and New Analytical Direction
Following years of declining attendance, the Monfort ownership group brought in external leadership to overhaul baseball operations. Paul DePodesta took over as president of baseball operations in December, arriving from the National Football League, and subsequently hired Josh Byrnes as general manager. The new leadership immediately targeted the organization’s analytics department, upgrading it significantly, while also hiring new scouts and improving a farm system previously ranked in the bottom fourth of Major League Baseball.
Minority Ownership and Ownership Dynamics
Greg and Carrie Penner, who own the Denver Broncos, hold a 40% minority stake in the Rockies. Despite speculation from fans that the minority owners might pressure the Monfort brothers to sell the team, Littwin advised readers not to count on a sale. Meanwhile, the team’s attendance at Coors Field dropped to roughly half of its inaugural 1993 numbers, ranking 18th in Major League Baseball attendance for 2026 following years of fan alienation, marked notably by the 2021 Nolan Arenado trade.
