The Brendan Rodgers Era is over. After 10 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, the 3rd overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft is out of the organization, non-tendered on November 22. What were his highest of highlights? Should the Rockies have traded him when they had the chance? And is calling B-Rod a bust fair or unfair?

Cal Quantrill also finds himself a free agent following the non-tender deadline. Can the starting rotation survive without one of their biggest workhorses in 2024?

Plus, a trade between the Reds and Royals helps explain the Rodgers decision, Ezequiel Tovar earns MVP votes and we fondly remember Troy Tulowitzki once again.

Jacob Stallings will return for 2025 after signing another short-term contract with the Colorado Rockies that could keep him in purple through 2026. Do the details of his contract suggest GM Bill Schmidt wants his young catchers, Hunter Goodman and Drew Romo, to receive a larger bulk of the playing time?

Plus, Colorado signs an Australian relief pitcher, Chris Sale makes history with his first Cy Young Award and the non-tender deadline could force the release of at least one Rockie.

Zac Veen, 9th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, was the only minor leaguer added to the Colorado Rockies 40-man roster on Tuesday. Who is the 83rd-best prospect and why didn't other get added?

Pat Murphy was awarded the 2024 NL Manager of the Year Award, becoming the first Milwaukee Brewers skipper to earn the honors. He received a first-place vote on my official BBWAA ballot; how did my 2nd and 3rd place votes fare?

Juan Soto is scheduled to meet with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. If he values winning above all else, do the Dodgers have the best odds? Could $600 million get him to leave the east coast?

Plus, could another NL West team emerge victorious in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes? Dodgers to miss a top bullpen arm for first half of 2025? Another position change for Mookie Betts?

And now is a great time to give some love to the first superstar of the Colorado Rockies, Andrés “Big Cat” Galarraga.
