Bud Black Signs Contract Extension with Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have extended manager Bud Black's contract through the 2025 season, despite finishing the past two seasons with over 100 losses each. Black, 67, holds the record for the most games and wins as the Rockies' manager, with a record of 537-657 over eight seasons. Rockies General Manager Bill Schmidt expressed belief in the team's direction, citing a promising young roster as key to future success. Under Black, the Rockies reached the postseason in consecutive years, 2017 and 2018, but have struggled since, failing to make the playoffs again. The organization also announced the dismissal of bullpen coach Reid Cornelius and assistant hitting coach P.J. Pilittere as part of a broader effort to improve performance. Black's overall managerial record stands at 1,186-1,370, ranking him fourth among active MLB managers.
