We’ve got ourselves a World Series, folks. Toronto scored a massive Game 1 win thanks to a first-ever pinch-hit grand slam by Addison Barger while Los Angeles pulled even thanks to a historic performance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto. How many Hall of Famers have pulled off the feats of Yoshi this postseason? And why did Shohei Ohtani sprint around the bases?

Bo Bichette made his first appearance since September 6 and immediately earned himself a knock. How rare is it for a player to miss so much action and then pull through in the clutch of the Fall Classic?

Plus, Kevin Gausman pays tribute to Roy Halladay, MLB’s old-man issue and the missed opportunity for Max Scherzer vs. Clayton Kershaw in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.

The marriage between the Philadelphia Phillies and Nick Castellanos has appeared to run its course. If the Colorado Rockies wanted to get creative and add to their farm system, a deal could be made this winter. Who says not for a Castellanos for Antonio Senzatela trade? Do the Rockies need to make more of these kinds of deals?

A pair of purple prospects have been impressing in the Arizona Fall League and it’s not just Charlie Condon and Jared Thomas. Should prospect pundits be believed? How often do you go back to see how well your predictions went for minor leaguers?

Plus, the Savannah Bananas city selection show unveils another trip to Denver and Coors Field, an undervalued trade deadline move by Colorado and more buzz about a lockout following the 2026 MLB Season.

Amiel Sawdaye and Matt Forman are the latest names preferred by the Colorado Rockies to take over for GM Bill Schmidt. What’s Sawdaye’s experience like with Arizona? Will his connection with the DBacks since 2017 enough for understanding altitude whilst remaining outside the Rockies’ organization?

Darryl Scott is reportedly out as Colorado’s pitching coach. How bleak has it been for Rockies pitchers? How much can it be attributed to Scott?

Plus, previewing the 2025 World Series, the potential for Shohei Ohtani or Teoscar Hernández getting booed in Toronto and Hunter Goodman’s strong odds to win an NL Silver Slugger Award.

Dick Monfort is frustrated. His team has lost 323 games over the past three years and seems to feel like it wouldn’t have been the case were it not for large market clubs like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and other evil empires. So how could he possibly be excited to see the L.A. back in the Fall Classic? (Hint: it’s about money.)

Colorado also needs to consider hiring someone with at least a little familiarity with Coors Field and the challenges of playing at altitude. Why is bringing in someone with track record of success from a consistently talented small market club like Milwaukee, Tampa Bay or Cleveland not enough to shift the losing culture in Denver?

Plus, Allison Krajewski recognized for her work with High-A Spokane, Monfort’s email about acquiring Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers and Larry Walker wins the first prestigious award for a Rockies player in franchise history.

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.
