The Colorado Rockies enter their 162nd and final game of 2026 after a 9-6 win over the Chicago White Sox, with a chance to take the series. They have won just six September games despite having one of baseball’s best offenses at midseason.
September also included two losing streaks of five or more games, and Colorado was swept by the Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks.
The offseason will bring evaluations of the roster and coaching staff as the rebuild continues. The article also mentions a possible resolution to Kris Bryant’s situation, rumors of an ownership change, and anticipates a labor dispute over a new collective bargaining agreement with a lockout it calls almost certain. Rookie TJ Rumfield finished with a .300 batting average and could win the NL on-base percentage title; Hunter Goodman hit his 40th and 41st home runs.
