Rockies payroll in 2026 is down a lot from 2025 right now - Is a free agent first baseman atop their offseason wish list?
Description
With Ryan McMahon gone, Germán Márquez set to leave in free agency and Austin Gomber already elsewhere, Colorado has $30 million gone from their payroll. The final figure will be closer to a decrease in $40 million. So how much will the Rockies add for 2026? Is there a perfect free agent match at first base just waiting to come to Denver?
The 2025 season did not bring much joy to baseball loving fans in the state… at least not those who wear purple. Does Coors Field have a good attendance problem? And what were the lowlights from the year that have been easily overlooked?
Plus, the strangest trade the Rockies have made in years, the vibe issue in the home clubhouse at Coors Field and the real reason The Rockies Insider kept trudging along during the 119-loss campaign.
