The club’s decision to fire manager Bud Black was no surprise.

Schaeffer joined the Rockies as a third-base and infield coach during the 2023 season after spending 10 seasons as a coach and manager in the franchise’s minor-league system.

The team's owner expressed disappointment over the current season's performance and announced interim replacements as the Rockies aim for improvement in the remainder of the 2025 season.
