"Schmidt has been with the organization since 1999, including the last four seasons as general manager. The Rockies turned in their third straight 100-loss season as they missed the postseason for a seventh year in a row. The Rockies finished 43-119, narrowly avoiding the distinction of being worst team since baseball adopted a 162-game schedule in 1961. The mark still belongs to the 2024 Chicago White Sox (41-121)."
"The new GM will make a decision on the managerial role. Warren Schaeffer has been the interim manager since stepping into the position when Bud Black was fired in May. He went 36-86 in a season that went sideways from the start. The Rockies boast a young nucleus, but there are plenty of areas to shore up. They finished with a differential of minus-424, the worst since 190"
Bill Schmidt will not return as general manager of the Colorado Rockies after a 43-119 season. Schmidt joined the organization in 1999, served as director of scouting and became GM in 2021. The Rockies recorded their third straight 100-loss season and missed the postseason for a seventh consecutive year. The team narrowly avoided being the worst 162-game team since 1961; the 2024 Chicago White Sox finished 41-121. The organization is searching externally for a new GM to provide fresh perspective, innovation and a focus on both short- and long-term success. The new GM will determine the managerial role; interim manager Warren Schaeffer went 36-86 and the club finished with a minus-424 run differential.
