Rodgers (shoulder) way ahead of schedule | MLB.com
After waiting 146 days to see the Rockies back in action, even if it is just a Cactus League game, it turns out we have to wait one more due to Phoenix’s heaviest rainstorm since 1913.
Is it a sign? Can a rainout for a spring training opener be a good sign? Washing away the 2019 season for a new beginning? Or is it...
Sure, it’s easy to shrug your shoulders and say it’s “just spring training.” Absolutely, you wouldn’t be scolded at all if you said the numbers don’t matter. However, for certain members of the Colorado Rockies, how they test this spring could well determine their roster or role fate in late March and beyond.

Daniel Bard’s latest comeback attempt is officially underway. The former Red Sox reliever has agreed to a minor league deal with the Rockies and will head to Major League camp, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. The Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham reported last week that Bard was working toward a comeback. Now 34 years old, Bard once looked like a potential closer in waiting for the Red Sox. The No. 28 overall pick in the 2006 draft debuted in 2009 and made an immediate impact with a...

I’m going to be honest: I was under the impression Spring Training games began today, Friday, not tomorrow, Saturday. But that’s probably because this offseason has been so exhausting between the cheating scandals and the player-front-office feuds. So needless to say I’m very excited for actual baseball games—even real-fake games like spring training ones—to happen.
On to the...
This week, for really the first time since the rift between Colorado Rockies franchise player Nolan Arenado and the club’s ownership became apparent, the two sides seemed to make some sort of an effort to mend fences … or at least to give that appearance.

McMahon aims to build on last year’s success | MLB.com
Ryan McMahon has bounced around the diamond since being drafted back in 2013. He was drafted as a third baseman, then shifted to first base, and finally seems to have found a spot (for the moment) at second.

However, the star third baseman insists he is not going to let his personal situation impact the team. Stephanie Aptein of Sports Illustrated reports that Arenado recently met with Rockies owner Dick Monfort to discuss the direction of the franchise.
