Colorado Rockies finish 2025 with franchise-worst 43-119 record

The Colorado Rockies concluded their 2025 MLB season with a franchise-worst record of 43-119, tying for the third-most losses in modern baseball history, marked by a series of shutouts and the highest team ERA for starters since 1913. Their final game was a 4-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, who finished the season 81-81 after a mixed campaign and significant roster investments, including players like Rafael Devers and Justin Verlander. The Rockies' interim manager Warren Schaeffer, who took over after Bud Black's firing early in the season, posted a slightly better winning percentage but still oversaw one of the worst seasons in baseball. Giants' manager Bob Melvin, whose future with the team is uncertain despite a slight improvement in wins from the previous year, also faced evaluation due to the team's underperformance relative to expectations. Key players for the Giants included Rafael Devers, who led with 34 home runs, and Casey Schmitt, whose late-season homer helped secure victories. The Rockies struggled especially on the road with a poor 18-62 record, while the Giants performed better in games where they did not allow home runs, reflecting contrasting team strengths and weaknesses during the season.
