Asdrúbal Cabrera, A Reminder Of Ways Big And Small To Win A World Series, Returns To Washington

The Rockies had a miserable 2023 campaign, recording their first-ever 100-loss season. The silver lining? They received a high pick in the MLB draft. Colorado has the No. 3 pick in the first round of the draft, which takes place July 14-16 in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s the second-highest position they have selected from (Colorado selected pitcher Greg Reynolds with the No.

The Rockies were on the doorstep of a rare three-game winning streak, but the majors’ worst bullpen reverted to the typical script instead. Nick Mears and Justin Lawrence combined to yield two runs in the ninth in a frame that featured two walks and a hit by pitch. That messed up Colorado’s well-pitched game to that point and gave the Brewers a 4-3 comeback win on the second night of the series on Tuesday at Coors Field. “Anytime you walk guys in the ninth in a one-run game, you put yourself in peril,” manager Bud Black said. Mears’ blown save negated a strong outing by starter Ryan Feltner and wiped away another good night at the dish by Brenton Doyle, who homered and had an eighth-inning RBI double to give Colorado a short-lived lead. “It’s frustrating,” left fielder Nolan Jones said.

If it’s possible for the acquisition of a bench player to be flashy, this situation qualifies. The Clippers are seeking trade partners for future Hall of Famer and former league MVP Russell Westbrook, and the Nuggets have shown interest, a league source confirmed to The Denver Post this week. Westbrook, 35, has made nine All-NBA teams and nine All-Star teams, but none since the 2019-20 season.

The Colorado Avalanche might not have a better defense corps in 2024-25, but it could be deeper. Erik Brannstrom, once one of the top prospects in the sport, is the latest depth addition. He and the Avs agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract Tuesday morning. Brannstrom, who will be 25 in September, was one of the top defense prospects in the 2017 draft after Cale Makar and Miro Heiskanen and was pick No.

EA Sports may be buying the Colorado football program, but the media members who cover the conference sure aren’t. In a poll of 61 media members, the CU Buffs were picked to finish 11th out of 16 teams — yes, the Big 12 has 16 teams — in their return to the Big 12 under head coach Deion Sanders. Despite bringing back preseason All-Big 12 quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the preseason defensive player of the year in cornerback Travis Hunter, the Buffs didn’t garner a single first-place vote in the poll released Tuesday morning. Utah, another former Pac-12 school joining the Big 12 this season, was the media members’ top pick with 20 first-place votes.
