After eight seasons and 40 games, the Colorado Rockies fired Bud Black on May 11. The veteran manager who had served as an MLB manager for 18 years left the team worse than he found it when he took over in 2017. Of course, it wasn’t all his fault, but he couldn’t get the most out of his players.
After back-to-back 100-plus loss seasons, the Rockies were off to a franchise-worst start in 2025 that also ranks among the worst in the Modern Era. After 40 games, the Rockies were 7-33 and on the express track to recording the worst season in baseball history.
