Patrick Saunders addresses questions regarding the Colorado Rockies' financial health and performance in his latest mailbag. The Rockies are currently valued at $1.48 billion, with an operating income of minus-$17 million for 2023, reflecting challenges in revenue due to changes in sports television.

Concerns about Kris Bryant's contract are raised, with the Rockies likely stuck with it unless he retires. Despite a poor offensive output, the team’s management believes in their coaching staff, and the future may see Sterling Monfort taking on a more prominent role.

Questions about the Rockies’ commitment to fan experience versus winning games and the potential for players like Nolan Jones to rebound from disappointing seasons are also discussed.

The Colorado Rockies have extended manager Bud Black's contract for one more year, ensuring he remains at the helm through the 2025 season. Despite a disappointing 61-101 record in 2024 and a third consecutive last-place finish in the NL West, the Rockies' front office believes in Black's leadership and the potential of their young roster.

General manager Bill Schmidt expressed confidence in the team's direction, citing the development of young players as a key factor. Black, who has the most wins in Rockies history, will rely on veterans and a promising core as they aim to improve their performance and return to playoff contention.
