Rockies president Greg Feasel to step down with team headed toward historically awful season
Colorado president and COO Greg Feasel is stepping down at the end of the 2025 season, the team announced Thursday, as the 18-62 club heads toward the worst season in MLB history.
Feasel, 66, has been with the franchise since 1995.

He said in a press release he had been discussing this move with owner Dick Monfort for several years and called it 'bittersweet.'
The Rockies are also shifting former vice president of corporate partnerships Walker Monfort into the club's executive vice president position beginning in 2026.

'It has been a privilege to work for this franchise over the last 30 years, and I'm incredibly grateful to Dick for the opportunity to help guide and grow the Colorado Rockies,' Feasel said in the statement.
The 2025 season concludes three decades for Feasel with the NL West squad, having been promoted to COO in 2010 and team president in 2021.
Oh, the Rockies are quite bad.

The Rockies have enjoyed some highs during his tenure, including the team's lone run to the World Series in 2007 that ended in a sweep by the Red Sox.

Colorado made the playoffs five times in these 30 years, most recently in back-to-back seasons in 2017 and 2018.
But the franchise has been largely uncompetitive in recent years.
As the Dodgers have turned into a superpower, the Rockies since 2019 have finished 35, 17 (Covid-shortened year), 32 1/2, 43, 41 and 37 games back in the division, respectively.

They are 31 1/2 games back this year, which, somehow, would be an improvement.
The Rockies are on pace to go 37-125 this season, which would break the modern era record for losses.
The White Sox established the new dubious record last season when they went 42-120.
'Greg has been a pillar of the organization since it earliest days,' Dick said in the release. 'His leadership and vision helped shape not only the Colorado Rockies organization, but the entire baseball community throughout the Rocky Mountain region. He has been instrumental in our many successes over the years and has been a strong and steady presence throughout the past three decades.'

Yankees' Spencer Jones hits a 443-foot home run as Triple-A hot streak continues
Spencer Jones stayed hot with a monster home run on Wednesday afternoon. The Yankees' power-hitting outfield prospect hit a 443-foot solo shot in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders' game against the Buffalo Bisons to get his team on the board in the first inning. The dinger came against former big league All-Star Alek Manoah. Jones' latest long ball comes amidst a ridiculous minor-league season for the 2022 first-round pick. The Vanderbilt product was hitting .284/.379/.610 with 31 home runs, 66 RBIs and 25 stolen bases in stints in Double-A and Triple-A in 2025. In 156 at-bats with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since being promoted in late July, Jones already has 15 homers, including Wednesday's game. 'He's having a good season,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Jones was called up to Triple-A. 'So it's been good to see him — obviously, the size stands out. The athleticism, the speed and power really stands out. The ability to control the strike zone. He's doing all those things.' 3 Spencer Jones is rounding the bases after his solo home run on Wednesday. Talkin' Yanks/X Strikeouts have remained the biggest blemish on the 6-foot-7, 240-pound lefty's game. He's punched out 122 times in 331 at-bats in the minors this season, a 31.2 percent strikeout rate, which is among the highest in Triple-A. 3 Spencer Jones just after making contact with his first-inning homer on Wednesday. Talkin' Yanks/X Despite the strikeouts, Jones, 24, is starting to push the Yankees' hand despite a crowded outfield and designated hitter spot. Aaron Judge has been the Bombers' designated hitter, pushing usual-DH Giancarlo Stanton to the outfield, as he deals with an elbow injury. 3 New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones #78, hitting a 2-run homer in the 6th inning during a spring training game on Feb. 22, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Cody Bellinger and Jasson Domínguez have held down the other two outfielder spots while Trent Grisham has filled in nicely as well. Jones is currently ranked No. 91 on Top 100 prospect rankings. He's ranked as the Yankees' No. 4 prospect behind George Lombard Jr., Carlos Lagrange and Cam Schlitter.

Red Sox are a lot better off than when they last saw the rival Yankees
Shortly thereafter, they found their footing — for real — and have put themselves in prime playoff position. 'We've made a lot of strides in the last two or three months, obviously playing much better baseball,' Trevor Story said. 'The time, the confidence, the momentum helps. You play good baseball for a long period of time, it's always good for the vibes and good for your confidence. That's where we're at right now.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Story is a great example. Prior to playing the Yankees for the first time, he was just beginning to emerge from a deep slump, from which the Sox were not sure he would recover. He was batting .217 with a .591 OPS. And since? Hitting .300 with an .861 OPS, one of the better shortstops in baseball. Advertisement Roman Anthony , in his first week in the majors the last time the Sox and Yankees met, has established himself as an on-base machine at or near the top of the lineup. Alex Bregman , injured in June, is back. Hot stretches from Jarren Duran , Wilyer Abreu (questionable for Thursday because of a tight right calf), Romy Gonzalez , Ceddanne Rafaela , and others offer length to the lineup. Advertisement On the pitching side, Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello have become — in whatever order — reliable Nos. 2 and 3 starters behind ace Garrett Crochet . And setup man Garrett Whitlock , having knocked off some early-season rust after missing 2024, has a 2.13 ERA over the past two-plus months while working largely in a one-inning role. A club that was 9½ games behind the Yankees at the time of their first meeting was just one game back Wednesday (pending the outcome of the Yankees' game at the Rays). Zoom in and the Red Sox have lost seven of their last 10 games. Zoom out and they are 31-23 since they most recently saw the Yankees (a stretch that coincides with the trade of Rafael Devers ). The Yankees were 26-29 in that time. 'Definitely excited. Two really good teams getting after it,' Bregman said. 'I feel like we can switch [the momentum] with one swing of the bat or one pitch or one play on defense.' Related : Bregman is no stranger to an intense Yankee Stadium environment, having served as a face of the Astros during those teams' heated matchups for the better part of a decade. He has played 24 games in the Bronx in the regular season (plus eight in the postseason). He said he is '100 percent' excited to see this version of a rivalry against the Yankees. 'It was tough being out early in the year,' he said. 'I'm very thankful to be back.' If jockeying for position in the American League East and wild-card standings wasn't enough, an extra layer of importance: Even a split of this four-gamer would clinch the season series for the Red Sox, who then would own the tiebreaker for postseason purposes. Advertisement As the rotation turns The Red Sox are keeping their starting pitchers in line for the series, which works out great for them, because they have their top four set up. Thursday: Giolito (3.63 ERA) vs. Luis Gil (5.14); Friday: Bello (3.23) vs. Max Fried (3.26); Saturday: Crochet (2.43) vs. Will Warren (4.25); Sunday: Dustin May (4.59) vs. Carlos Rodón (3.24). Managing Narváez In managing Carlos Narváez's workload generally, and occasional sore left knee specifically, how important is it to Alex Cora to give Narváez a complete day off when he is out of the lineup? Revving up to play even a couple of innings — especially when the knee requires daily physical treatment and sometimes causes a limp — can work against the purpose of sitting out. 'It's important, but it's not needed,' Cora said. 'We're going to play every game to win it, so if we have to hit for Connor [ Wong ], we'll play [Narváez] at the end.' The Sox have inserted Narváez as a late-inning replacement twice in the last 10 weeks. Campbell sent down The Red Sox demoted reliever Isaiah Campbell to Triple A Worcester but did not announce a corresponding move, leaving a roster spot open heading into Thursday. Available pitchers on the 40-man roster include Richard Fitts , who was scheduled to start for the WooSox on Thursday but who has intrigued team officials as a bullpen option … Marcelo Mayer had his season-ending right wrist surgery, the Red Sox announced. It was performed by Dr. Matthew Leibman at Mass General-Brigham Hospital … Justin Slaten , who struck out the side in his rehab debut with Worcester on Tuesday, is due to continue his minor league work after a shoulder-induced layoff of almost three months … Pitching prospect David Sandlin's conversion to reliever hasn't gone great. In five appearances with Worcester, he has an 11.12 ERA and 2.47 WHIP. He has, however, shortened his between-games rest periods to as little as one day … The annual Oldtime Baseball Game in Cambridge — a fundraiser for The Boston Home, a nonprofit residence and national resource for adults with advanced neurological disorders, primarily multiple sclerosis — was postponed to Thursday. Milton native Rich Hill is slated to participate (as a hitter and fielder) less than a month removed from his most recent major league appearance. The game is at 7 p.m. at St. Peter's Field.
