Critics argue Rockies need better management, not spending

The Colorado Rockies are struggling in Major League Baseball, and the team’s owner, Dick Monfort, is facing criticism. The Rockies have spent significantly more money than some of their division rivals but have not seen results on the field. From 2021 to 2024, the Rockies spent an average of $25.4 million more each season than the Arizona Diamondbacks, but they finished much further behind in the standings. They had a high cost per win of $2.19 million, which ranks poorly among teams in their division. Critics argue that the problem isn't just money but poor decision-making by the team's management. While the Rockies spent $146.1 million in 2024, they finished with only 61 wins. That performance led to significant losses and dissatisfaction among fans. Many believe the Rockies need to rethink their strategies rather than just throwing money at the problem. The current organization is seen as outdated, unable to adapt or compete effectively. As a result, many fans are losing hope in their team and its direction. Overall, the Rockies are in a difficult position. They have a chance to succeed, but if things do not change soon, fans fear a long stint of mediocrity will continue.
