DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Rockies fired team manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond on Sunday after the team suffered its worst shutout loss in franchise history Saturday night.
The team announced that current Third Base Coach Warren Shaeffer has been named the interim manager through the end of the 2025 season, and current Hitting Coach Clint Hurdle will take the duties of interim bench coach. Black has been the team's manager since November 2016 and became the team's winningest manager in the franchise's history, surpassing Clint Hurdle.
“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,” said Rockies Owner, Chairman and CEO Dick Monfort in the team's announcement. “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," Monfort concluded.
After their games against the San Diego Padres this weekend, the Rockies had been outscored 9-34, with one game left on Sunday, which the team did win. However, 21 of those runs were made during a shutout loss on Saturday.
Black had signed a one-year contract extension with the Rockies for the 2025 campaign in October.
Schaeffer will become the eighth manager in Rockies franchise history and has been the club's third base and infield coach since the 2023 season. He began coaching in 2013 after six seasons in the Rockies' Minor League system.
“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,” said General Manager Bill Schmidt in the team's announcement. “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," Schmidt added.
