On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Rockies series preview
Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty ImagesAs was the case with the Diamondbacks, it has been quite some time since the Rockies and Cubs last played — 358 days since the Cubs lost 4-3 on September 18, 2022.
It’s been quite a bit longer since the Cubs visited Coors Field. The Cubs’ last game there was 517 days ago, April 17, 2022, a 6-4 win over the Rockies. Of the 18 Cubs who played in that game, 11 are no longer in the Cubs organization — and of the 14 Rockies who appeared that afternoon, seven are no longer in their organization, and another (Kris Bryant) won’t appear in this series.
