Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Wednesday morning that Colorado Rockies vice president and assistant general manager of baseball operations Zack Rosenthal has resigned from his position.
Rosenthal has been a member of the Rockies organization since 2006 after working with the Boston Red Sox and then-Oakland Athletics. He joined the team as an intern in player development before being hired as a member of the baseball operations group.
Rosenthal has served as the Rockies’ assistant general manager
for 11 seasons, and was promoted to vice president following the 2021 campaign. He has also served as the organization’s assistant general counsel.
Thomas Harding spoke to Rosenthal, who confirmed that leaving the organization was his decision.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to stay with one single organization for 20-plus years,” Rosenthal said. “So many amazing experiences and memories. My first full season was the World Series year. That was magical.”
“I want nothing but success for the Rockies. This city deserves a team that competes, because there’s nothing like Coors Field in October.”
Rockies general manager and fellow longtime organizational stalwart Bill Schmidt resigned earlier this month. The Rockies have indicated they will be searching outside the organization for new members of baseball operations as they begin an overhaul of the front office.
