TALKING ROCKIES AND THE WEST with Paul Holden of Locked on Rockies

Colorado Rockies fight for relevance as NL West rivals stumble—can a turnaround be closer than fans think?

Sully and Paul Holden break down the current state of the Colorado Rockies, spotlighting injury setbacks to Chase Dollander and the emergence of rookie standout T.J. Rumfield as the club seeks to escape the basement of the division. The conversation covers the Dodgers’ dominance thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s two-way brilliance and their deep farm system, the San Francisco Giants’ surprising dysfunction despite star names like Matt Chapman and Luis Arraez, and the playoff potential of the streaky San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks. Key topics include player development, trade deadline speculation, and how small improvements in Denver could open the door for a mile-high playoff chase if division rivals falter.

Will the Rockies’ incremental progress and young core set the stage for a long-awaited winning season, or is patience wearing too thin in Colorado?
