The MLB-worst Colorado Rockies have made a change to their front office, though not one that figures to change their fortunes on the field much. Longtime president and CEO Greg Feasel will step down after the season, the team announced Thursday. Walker Monfort, son of Rockies owner Dick Monfort, will be elevated from vice president of corporate partnerships to replace Feasel.
“While we thank Greg for his impact and service, we are excited to turn the page into our next chapter with Walker,” Dick Monfort said in a statement. “He brings a deep understanding of this organization — earned through his 20 years of experience working both within and alongside every department of our operation.
“He offers a fresh, forward-looking mindset, and we’re confident his perspective, experience and leadership will benefit the club in the months and years to come.”
Walker Monfort, 38, is in his 11th season in his current role with the Rockies, and his 16th season working full-time for the team. Several other members of the Monfort family working in the team’s front office, including director of pro scouting Sterling Monfort, Dick Monfort’s other son and Walker’s brother.
“Greg has been an outstanding mentor to me and a leader whose dedication to the Rockies has set a strong foundation for all of us to build on,” Walker Monfort said in a statement. “I fully embrace my new responsibilities and will be accountable for impacting this organization positively in the short and long-term both on and off the field. Changes like this bring opportunities to evolve as a club and I am motivated to spearhead that process. At my core, I’m a Rockies fan — my goal is to maximize our resources and ultimately put our club in position to compete for a championship.”
Under Monfort, the Rockies have been one of the most loyal organizations in baseball, almost always promoting from within rather than hiring people from outside the organization. That is admirable to an extent, though at some point stability becomes stagnation, and the Rockies seem to be well past that point.
At 18-62, the Rockies have the worst record in baseball by 7 ½ games. They lost 103 games in 2023 and 101 games in 2024, the first two 100-loss seasons in franchise history. The Rockies are on pace to lose 126 games this year. Last year’s Chicago White Sox lost a modern-record 121 games.

‘Big deal’ for Lando but ‘not enough’ for Max – Did Singapore swing title race?
Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen were upstaged at the Singapore Grand Prix, but their finishing positions behind George Russell had significant implications in Formula 1's 2025 title race.Going into the weekend, the focus was on whether championship leader Piastri and his McLaren team-mate and nearest challenger Norris could respond to the successive victories Red Bull's Verstappen had claimed in Italy and Azerbaijan. Instead, Russell overcame illness and a crash in Friday practice to take a stunning pole position, which set up a straightforward victory on Sunday for the Mercedes driver with overtaking remaining almost impossible at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.The only real drama of the race came on the first lap and featured all three title contenders, as Norris surged from fifth on the grid to third by getting the other Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli off the […]

NFL Week 5 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Chiefs-Jaguars Monday Night Football
Travis Hunter starts on offense and defense: Hunter became the first NFL player to accomplish this since 2008. Tyquan Thornton fights for his role: Thornton has dropped to fourth on the depth chart with Xavier Worthy’s return, but he still led the team in receiving and should continue to have a role in the offense moving forward. The weekly Travis Hunter update: The Jaguars expanded Hunter’s role in Week 5, starting him on both offense and defense. On offense, the Jaguars continued to feature Hunter heavily in three-wide receiver sets. He had already played 84.1% of snaps in 11 personnel through the first four weeks and was even more consistently used in that package this game—playing 100% of 11 personnel snaps in the first half. Notably, Hunter also saw his first action in two-wide receiver sets. He hadn’t been used […]
