Our fans deserve better and do better.” He said. “While we all share responsibility for how this season is played, these changes are required. We will use the rest of 2025 to improve where we can do in the field and evaluate all the areas of our operation, so that we can properly convert the page into the next part of the Rockies baseball.
“I would like to thank Bud Black and Mike Redmond here for their contribution to the organization for eight years.

“I believe that Warren will take us forward for the rest of this season, develop our young talents at the big league level and take our club back to playing a better baseball brand,” said the General Manager Bill Schmidt said. He said. “A perfect communicator is capable of connecting with both veterans and young players.
“Clint will focus on assisting our players aggressively and will continue to help our Warren and our players as an experienced voice in our club building.”
