“There’s a lot of good people that are involved with the Colorado Rockies. We’ve got to get back to the process where there’s trust and communication,” Schmidt said. “Getting everybody pulling on the rope in the same direction. Not only the players, I say it as a whole organization. “I think we got away from a little bit of who we are.” Schmidt has been with the team for nearly 22 years and was the vice president of scouting since Jan. 2, 2007. He said the timing was right for h...

Colorado Rockies interim GM Bill Schmidt hopes to be considered for job after season DENVER -- Bill Schmidt went from Colorado Rockies vice president of scouting to interim general manager this week. He will hold that title for the rest of the season -- and hopefully longer as more than an interim GM. "I have aspirations of having the job full time, and hopefully I can do a good enough job that Dick and Greg will give me consideration going forward," Schmidt said Wednesday, referring to owner D...

Rockies Name Bill Schmidt As Interim GM 1:41pm CDT 1:41PM: The Rockies have officially announced Schmidt as the new interim GM.  As per the team’s press release, “Schmidt will oversee all aspects of the club’s baseball operations,” which would perhaps imply that Feasel will either return his focus to business operations, or simply that Schmidt is the top voice in all baseball-related matters. 1:05PM: Rockies vice-president of scouting Bill Schmidt is expected to be named the club’s i...

On Monday the Jeff Bridich era officially concluded in Colorado. The abrupt announcement just one month into the season leaves the club with a general manager vacancy to fill in the front office. Darren Gonzalez recently wrote about the new era facing the Rockies and how significant deviation from the previous formula is sorely needed. Greg Feasel has been promoted to the role of President, the first step in the process, but his day-to-day baseball operations experience is not robust. Internal ...

In case you missed it, the Rockies had a major shakeup in the front office this week. In a stunning move, General Manager Jeff Bridich stepped down from his role with the team and Greg Feasel was named the Club President, with an interim GM planned to be named for the rest of the season. Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the latest revelation in the Rockies’ soap opera season, and while I can’t share all of the fantastic reactions, I will be sharing several that got a quality...

So, what’s the plan? Words fail to capture my relief that Jeff Bridich is no longer calling the shots for the Rockies. Hopefully, the era of paying sub-par free agents who are past their prime big bucks is over. Hopefully, the era of treating superstars like garbage (see Troy Tulowitzki and Nolan Arenado) or not recognizing them (DJ LaMahieu) is over. And one can only hope the condescending attitude that the front office knows best and should not be questioned is over. The only problem is tha...
