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 and Rooftop Mingle featuring player interviews.

This week, Evan and Skyler are joined by Christian Saez of DNVR to discuss the Colorado Rockies at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. The Rockies signed Thairo Estrada to play second base, while general manager Bill Schmidt and skipper Bud Black had plenty of comments about the 2025 squad. The Rockies are planning on resting their starters more but what does that really look like and is it worth it? It also appears that Brenton Doyle will hit leadoff which should bode well for the team if he can find success. Also, can Kris Bryant return to the player the Rockies need him to be? Meanwhile the draft lottery… did not go as expected as they fall to the fourth overall pick. In other news, there is a non-zero chance the Rockies could land top international free agent Rokie Sasaki from Japan.
