- Warren Schaeffer, the interim manager of the Colorado Rockies, is under pressure to prove his worth after winning fewer than 30% of games last season.
- The Rockies' new president of baseball operations, Paul DePodesta, is likely to conduct a thorough search for a permanent manager, putting Schaeffer's job in jeopardy.
- Schaeffer's future with the Rockies is uncertain, as the team's new leadership may not see him as the long-term solution for the team.
