DENVER - The Colorado Rockies announced the firing of manager Bud Black on Sunday, ending his tenure with the team after a disastrous start to the 2025 season. The decision was made after the Rockies' latest victory, bringing their record to a meager 7 wins.
Black had been the Rockies' manager since 2017, leading them to a Wild Card berth in 2018. However, the team has struggled in recent years, and this season's poor performance proved to be the final straw. The Rockies' front office cited a need for a change in leadership to revitalize the team's prospects.
The team has not yet announced an interim manager or a timeline for finding a permanent replacement. The focus now shifts to finding a leader who can effectively develop young talent and improve the team's overall competitiveness in a challenging National League West division. The Rockies organization expressed gratitude for Black's service and dedication to the team.
