Before I get going on the meat and potatoes of this article, I need to preface it with the following:
None of my views on this matter are a direct shot at the work or character of interim GM Bill Schmidt or any other current Rockies employee who might be in consideration for the job at the end of the 2021 season.
Now that we have that out of the way, I can get to the thesis of this piece.
The Rockies absolutely need their next general manager to come from outside the organization.
