Listen "Does Colorado have a 40-man roster issue? Could latest arbitration projections signal a few non-tenders this winter?"

Episode Synopsis

Arbitration projections are here and the Colorado Rockies have seven players on which they'll need to make a decision: one-year deal (or more), file for arbitration (and the always impersonal arbitration process) or non-tender the player (and say goodbye). One player looks like a no-brainer to be gone in 2026, one could be a strong candidate while a third might be dependent on his health status. Who's who?Whoever takes over as the next GM will need to figure out what to do with the 40-man roster as currently 44 players on the list, including a pair of free agents. If five prospects will need protection in November ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, how many players will need to be waived or DFA'd? And how how does the 60-Day IL work in the offseason?Plus, a pair of Albuquerque Isotopes elect free agency, Toronto holds out three All-Stars from their ALDS roster and the real reason Brenton Doyle won't get much of a raise in 2026.🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut✏️WRITTEN ✏️https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨https://x.com/Rockies_Insiderhttps://x.com/PatrickDLyonshttps://www.threads.net/@rockies_insiderhttps://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlbhttps://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-rockies-insider/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
