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.
It’s been a busy few weeks for the Colorado Rockies, and a busy few weeks for us at Purple Row. The Winter Meetings finished up on Wednesday, and while the Rockies weren’t linked to any big free agents, they made a bunch of front office and coaching
additions.
Now we’re entering the dog days of winter, as we’re still two months away from pitchers and catchers reporting. The Rockies will undoubtedly add some more coaches at the very least, and perhaps they’ll still add some free agents.
But with all the excitement happening, here’s what the Purple Row staff has been up to for the last two weeks!
