Any evaluation of the Rockies’ offseason must begin with owner Dick Monfort’s pledge to the fans after the club’s 68-94, last-place finish.
“Our expectations were high going into the 2022 season, but unfortunately, we did not meet those expectations,” Monfort wrote in his annual letter to season ticket holders in October. “It has now been four years since our last postseason appearance, and this is not acceptable. … Excuses serve no purpose, and we are committed to devoting all our efforts this off-season to improving this team for 2023.”
So what have the Rockies done to improve?
