The weekend is a great time to kick back and reflect. This Week in Purple is the place to catch up on the news from our team at Purple Row. You’ll find links to Rockpiles and other content below as well as a platform for community discussion in the comments.
2026 is officially upon us, and the calendar turn means we are inching closer to the start of baseball season. While the report dates haven’t been announced yet, one can assume pitchers and catchers will report around Valentine’s Day. The first
Cactus League game is set for February 20.
That also means we are one day closer to seeing the vision of the Rockies’ new front office in action and not just on paper (or video) anymore. But while we wait, here’s what the Purple Row crew had to say to close out 2025:
