Rocky Mountain Rooftop is the Colorado Rockies affiliate of Fans First Sports Network dedicated to covering all things Rockies. Our flagship podcast Affected by Altitude, hosted by Evan Lang and Skyler Timmins, covers all the happenings of the big league club. Other shows under the RMR banner include Every Rockie Ever, hosted by Timmins and his older brother Dustin, and Rooftop Mingle featuring player interviews.

This week, Skyler and Evan are joined by Just Baseball’s Patrick Lyons to discuss the 2024 trade deadline… or rather the lack of action during the deadline. Aside from acquiring three prospects in exchange for Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks, the Rockies did nothing else choosing to hold on to veterans like Cal Quantrill, Austin Gomber and Brendan Rodgers. Meanwhile, the front office disclosed their thoughts on the lack of activity and shared familiar lines about how close to contention they feel they are in the coming season. The guys discuss the team’s misplaced hopes and their lack of commitment to rebuild and find a new contention window. Color us skeptical, but we just don’t believe this is a team that will be competitive in 2025 after what will likely be back-to-back 100+ loss seasons. We wrap things up on a more positive note with Brenton Doyle running away with July Player of the Month and naming our July Pitcher of the Month.

Our podcast is available in both audio and video format!
