What would it take to bring Freddy Peralta to the Colorado Rockies?

Peralta spent time between the New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays last season. He found himself on a team that advanced to the World Series before losing to the Milwaukee Brewers. That also was another former team on Peralta's resume.

Right-handed pitcher RJ Petit is going to the Detroit Tigers.

Petit was a 2025 Rule 5 pick by the Colorado Rockies. Now, though, he's being returned to Detroit and will see if he can get his career back on track. The Tigers picked Petit in the Rule 5 Draft in 2025.

Don't expect the Colorado Rockies to have the same type of look when it comes to preparing their pitching staff before next season.

After Alon Leichman was fired as pitching coach for the team, Troy Renck of The Denver Post offered this thought in a story. Renck reported that the Rockies might add "a position to help with advance reports and produce quicker in-game adjustments."

While Clint Hurdle will be leaving the Colorado Rockies' organization at the end of October, his imprint on its future will be lasting.

Hurdle not only managed the ballclub, but remained close to those players who are coming up through the ranks.

Once the Milwaukee Brewers secured their World Series title on Wednesday night, that kicked off the MLB offseason.

There are many burning questions around MLB, mostly focused on a potential work stoppage.

Obviously, any free agent out in the MLB marketplace is looking for a new home before next season rolls around. Would a free agent or two consider landing with the Colorado Rockies?

That's an interesting thought because the team is making improvements little by little. The improvements have not reflected into a record below 100 losses in the past few seasons. But the Colorado front office is doing its best.

Sure, the World Series begins on Friday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee. But the Colorado Rockies need to focus on the here and now.

Finishing up another season with 100-plus losses does not look good, or feel good, for the players, management, and fans.

Don't be surprised if Colorado Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta chooses a veteran pitching coach before next season.

It's obvious that the Rockies need a veteran hand overseeing their pitchers, both starters and relievers.

Right now, all eyes are aimed in the MLB world toward the World Series and the Milwaukee Brewers have punched their ticket. Maybe the Colorado Rockies can watch what is happening only with the Brewers, but with the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians in the American League Championship Series.

All three of these teams do not have millions and millions of dollars spent on their rosters. They have shown up in a competitive way, earning their trips to the postseason.

The adjustments to the Colorado Rockies before next season are beginning. On Thursday, pitching coach Alon Leichman was fired.

Leichman just served in that role one season before the ballclub chose to move along.
