Last week, The Athletic released the results of their 2025 player survey, an extensive survey of Major League Baseball players across various topics.
One topic was which current manager they would least like to play under. The top response was former Colorado Rockies skipper Bud Black, whom players’ comments suggested they associated with playing for a losing team.
“Honestly, whoever was the Rockies’ manager was who I was going to say,” one respondent answered.
The Rockies parted ways with Black on May 11th as the Rockies were mired in a historically terrible start to their season, naming third base coach Warren Schaeffer the interim manager.
