The Rockies actually did it.

In this emergency episode of the Rockies Now Podcast, the crew jump to the mics to react to the shocking news that the Colorado Rockies are hiring Paul DePodesta—yes, that Paul DePodesta (aka the Jonah Hill character from Moneyball)—to run their baseball operations after a decade away from MLB. Why did the Foreman/Sawdaye talks collapse? Did Dick scare them away? Would realignment actually fix the Rockies’ problems? Are the Dodgers really the “villain” in MLB?

Stephen, Tom, and returning guest Chris open this week with World Series takeaways—Toronto’s surge, L.A.’s miscues, a rookie breakout on the mound, and a tip of the cap to Clayton Kershaw—before pivoting to Colorado’s front-office search. We break down reported finalists Matt Foreman (Guardians) and Amiel Sawdaye (D-backs), why James Click likely wasn’t the fit, and what real autonomy under Walker Monfort should look like. What a new PBO/GM could mean for Warren Schaeffer and the staff after Darryl Scott’s exit.

Stephen and Tom dive into MLB postseason storylines — from the Dodgers’ dominance and Brewers’ disappointment to the ALCS showdown between the Mariners and Blue Jays. They also break down the latest Rockies front-office news, including reports that the team will interview finalists for the GM/President of Baseball Operations position next week. Could former Astros GM James Click be the hire that turns things around in Denver?

Later, the guys discuss which Rockies players might return or depart this offseason, possible free-agent targets, and what the team’s future payroll and direction could look like under new leadership.

A jam-packed episode! We react live to Dodgers–Phillies and preview Tigers–Mariners Game 5, weigh the Blue Jays as AL favorites, and hit the Yankees’ early exit, Cubs–Brewers, and more. Then we break down major Rockies front-office shakeups (Zack Rosenthal out, real POBO/GM search underway) and what it means for 2026. Plus our 2025 Rockies awards!

Tom and Adam have the hot mics this week with a quick MLB playoff check-in (Dodgers–Phillies collision course, Tigers danger with Skubal, Blue Jays’ staff rolling, Brewers–Cubs drama) before diving into Colorado’s big story: Bill Schmidt is out and the Rockies must run a real external search for a president of baseball operations—not just a familiar GM—who brings modern development, analytics, and a pitching-at-altitude plan, full autonomy, and better transparency; names floated include Thad Levine, Dayton Moore, Carlos Rodriguez (Rays), and Adam McKay (Mariners). They outline a manager profile that fits a young core (think Warren Schaeffer/Schumaker mold), hand out season kudos (Hunter Goodman’s breakout, Brenton Doyle’s CF lock, Mickey Moniak’s LH pop), spotlight bullpen bright spots (Vodnik, Herget, Mejía) and starting questions (Freeland’s veteran role; Márquez’s future), and flag prospects to watch (Brody Brecht late-inning upside, Roc Riggio’s energy at 2B), closing with a realistic target of pushing toward contention by 2027.

The Rockies have parted ways with general manager Bill Schmidt. We explain why this is just step one, why Colorado must hire a President of Baseball Operations before a GM, what it means for Warren Schaefer, and which external candidates could lead a real rebuild. Quick hits on Kris Bryant’s future, Nolan Arenado, and more!

The Rockies Now crew returns! Stephen and Tom celebrate Colorado officially avoiding “worst team ever” status, reflect on Bud Black’s exit, and call for a true front-office overhaul. They spotlight bright spots and prospects (Karros' growth, Beck’s step forward, Moniak’s revival, Vodnik/Brecht/McCade Brown, Blaine Krim’s first HRs) while noting tougher years for Tovar/Doyle. Plus: Isotopes’ record night, quick-hit playoff race chatter (Big Dumper MVP buzz!), and a White Sox Now update brimming with optimism. Loyal fans get their flowers—and both clubs get a roadmap for 2026 momentum.

In this special episode of the Rockies Now Podcast, we sit down with Rockies in-game host Gianna Girardi to talk about her incredible journey in sports. Growing up surrounded by baseball—especially the New York Yankees while her uncle Joe Girardi, former Rockies catcher, was managing in the Bronx—Gianna developed a lifelong passion for the game. She shares stories about her early love of sports, what it was like growing up around one of baseball’s most storied franchises, and how those experiences shaped her career path today.

We also dive into Gianna’s favorite ballparks, her future goals in the world of sports media, and her perspective on the Rockies community she now calls home. From family legacy to building her own mark in baseball, this episode is a must-listen for Rockies fans and anyone who loves the game.
