Instead of hitting the open market this offseason, veteran manager Bud Black will return to the Colorado Rockies' clubhouse for 2025.
The Colorado Rockies have signed manager Bud Black to a one-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
The 67-year-old veteran skipper led the Rockies to a 61-101 record this year, good for a third consecutive last-place finish in the NL West. Since managing Colorado to back-to-back playoff berths upon his arrival in 2017, Black has yet to bring the Rockies back to the postseason. "While our recent results on the field did not meet expectations, we believe this team is heading in the right direction with the growth of very talented young players," general manager Bill Schmidt said in a statement. "Our organization is committed to giving our fans the winning team that they deserve.
