The Rockies’ plan to overhaul and rebuild their front office will include hiring what the club is calling a “chief revenue and strategy officer,” a major league source confirmed Thursday.
The source also indicated the Rockies are moving closer to hiring a head of baseball operations from outside the organization. The finalists for that position could be determined by next week. The club has not decided whether the title for the job will be president of baseball operations or general manager.
According to the source, the chief revenue and strategy officer would be tasked with helping grow the Rockies from the business side and will be involved in investing money in data, analytics and strategy.
