The Rockies’ house cleaning continued Saturday when virtually the entire staff that had served under former manager Walt Weiss was fired.
According to a major-league source, the Rockies fired bench coach Tom Runnells, hitting coach Blake Doyle, catching coach Rene Lachemann and first base/outfield coach Eric Young.
Pitching coach Steve Foster, bullpen coach Darren Holmes and third base coach Stu Cole remain with the team, at least for now.
Weiss stepped down Monday, a day after his three-year contract expired. A meeting was supposed to take place last week between Weiss, general manager Jeff Bridich and owner Dick Monfort to review the 2016 season and Weiss’ future with the club.
