The Colorado Rockies have made significant changes in their coaching staff following a dismal start to the season, with manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond both fired. On May 12, 2025, the Rockies celebrated a rare victory, defeating the Padres 9-3, yet their overall record stands at a troubling 7-33. This puts them on track to potentially challenge the all-time loss record set by the White Sox just last year.
- Rockies fire manager Bud Black and bench coach
- Warren Schaeffer named interim manager
- Team record stands at 7-33
- Black's managerial career includes 18 seasons

Warren Schaeffer, the former third base coach, will step in as interim manager, while hitting coach Clint Hurdle takes on the role of interim bench coach.
