The Colorado Rockies have had a brutal first half of the 2025 season, even by the relatively low standards the team has set for itself over the past half decade. At 18-64, the Rockies are eight games behind the 29th-place Chicago White Sox, a team that won just 41 games in 2024. Colorado looks poised to threaten that level of futility, but in spite of all of that, the team is not exactly irrelevant in the bigger MLB landscape just yet. The Rockies still have a major opportunity to shape the picture for the rest of MLB as the July 31 trade deadline is drawing near and the team has plenty of valuable assets that could help boost contenders over the top.
