Rockies’ Walt Weiss out after team’s best season since 2010

The relationship between Walt Weiss and his general manager deteriorated over the last several months. He and Jeff Bridich certainly see eye-to-eye on this: The Colorado Rockies have quite a few of the pieces in place to be a contender.

Next step, finding a new manager.

Weiss is out as manager of the Rockies after four seasons. In a statement Monday, the Rockies said Weiss decided to step down.

However, he really didn’t have a job to come back to because his contract expired after the season finale.

Bridich, who took over as GM two years ago, will now get to select his own manager.

The Rockies finished 75-87 this season, their best record since 2010.
