The Colorado Rockies have decided to retain Bud Black as their manager for another season, extending his contract through 2025 despite a disappointing 61-101 finish in 2023. Black, the franchise's all-time winningest manager, has faced challenges with a roster that has seen significant turnover since their last postseason appearance in 2018.
General manager Bill Schmidt expressed confidence in the team's direction, highlighting the potential of young players like Ezequiel Tovar and Michael Toglia. Black's leadership is seen as crucial for developing the team's core and farm system, aiming for a return to competitive play.
