Rockies extend Black despite back-to-back 100-loss seasons

The Colorado Rockies announced Tuesday that manager Bud Black has been extended through the 2025 season.

"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," said Rockies senior vice president and general manager Bill Schmidt in a statement. "Our organization is committed to giving our fans the winning team that they deserve.

"We believe the foundation we're building with our core roster and our farm system, along with Buddy's skills, experience, and knowledge, are instrumental in achieving our goal of playing games in October."

Black owns a 537-657 record over eight seasons with the Rockies, which includes 103 losses in 2023 and 101 defeats in 2024. Colorado hasn't made the playoffs under the 67-year-old's guidance since 2018.

The Rockies also dismissed bullpen coach Reid Cornelius and assistant hitting coach P.J. Pilittere.
