Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images The Colorado Rockies dismissed manager Bud Black on Sunday while in the midst of one of the worst starts in major league history.
Bench coach Mike Redmond was also let go by Colorado. Third-base coach Warren Schaeffer was named interim manager for the remainder of the season.
The announcement came just minutes after the Rockies recorded a 9-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The win raised Colorado’s record to 7-33 and halted an eight-game losing streak.
The move also comes one day after the Padres routed Colorado 21-0.
Black was in his ninth season with the Rockies. He went 544-690 with the club and guided Colorado into the playoffs in both 2017 and 2018. However, the Rockies lost more than 100 games each of the past two seasons prior to this year’s poor start.
“Our play so far this season, especially coming off the last two seasons, has been unacceptable. Our fans deserve better, and we are capable of better,” Rockies owner Dick Monfort said in a statement. “While we all share responsibility in how this season has played out, these changes are necessary. We will use the remainder of 2025 to improve where we can on the field and to evaluate all areas of our operation so we can properly turn the page into the next chapter of Rockies Baseball.
“I want to thank Bud Black and Mike Redmond for their contributions to the organization across their eight years here. I appreciate their hard work and dedication and wish them nothing but the best going forward.”
The Rockies lost 94, 103 and 101 games over the past three seasons. The victory on Sunday prevented them from matching the 1988 Baltimore Orioles (6-34) for the worst 40-game start in major league history.
Black also spent eight-plus seasons (2007-15) as manager of the San Diego Padres. He went 649-713 with the Padres. Overall, he is 1,193-1,403 as a major league manager.
Hitting coach Clint Hurdle was named interim bench coach. Hurdle, 67, is a former manager of the Rockies (2002-09) and Pittsburgh Pirates (2011-19).
Hurdle is slated to help provide guidance to the 40-year-old Schaeffer, who is in his third season on the Colorado staff.
“I believe that Warren is the right person to lead us forward for the remainder of this season, develop our young talent at the major league level and get our club back to playing a better brand of baseball,” general manager Bill Schmidt said in a statement. “He has a great ability to connect with both veterans and young players and is an excellent communicator.
“Clint will remain focused on helping our players offensively and will continue to assist Warren and our players as an experienced voice within our clubhouse.”

Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer: 6 starting pitchers improperly valued right now, and how to take advantage
Starting pitchers are tough to assess during the initial weeks of the season, as both their fantasy numbers and underlying skill metrics tend to fluctuate wildly from one start to the next. Wise managers will stick with the tried-and-true K-BB% stat when looking for diamonds in the rough, and they will use noisy stats such as BABIP, strand rate and HR/FB rate to find the hurlers who are improperly valued on the Yahoo Trade Market.Here are six candidates who fit that description.Buy LowDylan Cease, San Diego PadresA manager who wants to buy low on Cease (4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) can easily make a case that the inconsistent right-hander is having yet another down year. After all, while his strikeout totals have been consistent, Cease’s ratios have been anything but over the past five seasons. The reality is that his 2025 […]
Fantasy Baseball Rankings Movers: Jacob Wilson, Javier Baez surge; Moises Ballesteros adds to catcher surplus
Most every week, Scott White will highlight some of the more notable changes to his rest-of-season rankings. You'll find said rankings here and are urged to bookmark them if you haven't already. There's no better resource for gauging player value throughout the long season. You could ask 100 people what the weakest position in Fantasy Baseball is and get the same answer. Or maybe not, actually, because the answer is so obviously catcher that most respondents would presume you mean "aside from catcher." But something is happening at catcher this year. In leagues that require only one, there are way too many quality options to go around. The issue is exacerbated by the recent promotion of Moises Ballesteros, an impressive hitting talent who was batting .368 at Triple-A. He's arriving not long after Agustin Ramirez, another top catcher prospect who […]
