Santoro: Even for the Rockies (10-50), Baseball Is All About the Dollars
- The Colorado Rockies have started the 2025 season with a 9-50 record, marking the worst start in modern MLB history through 59 games.
- This poor performance results from ongoing organizational issues and follows a pattern of record-breaking losses, including 22 consecutive lost series dating to last year.
- The Rockies have a.215 batting average, a 5.59 ERA, a minus-185 run differential, and have lost 19 series this year, with 29 losses by three or more runs.
- At their current pace, the Rockies will finish 25-137, eclipsing the 134 losses by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, with an average attendance above 27,000 fans per game.
- Despite the losses, the Rockies continue to draw crowds and highlight MLB’s need for financial controls as player salaries rise and team failures become more frequent.
