Affected by Altitude Episode 147: Arbies – We Have the Deets
This episode was recorded on Saturday, January 11, 2025. Stats and events may not be current at time of posting.Β
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, Skyler and Evan review the arbitration figures after the deadline to see how things shook out for the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies were able to come to terms with all of their arbitration-eligible players, led by Austin Gomber’s deal slightly north of $6 million. The deals were cheap overall, but that sometimes speaks to the level of talent the Rockies are employing. Despite the deals, could the Rockies see any further roster changes from the group? Meanwhile, old friend and former top prospect Jeff Hoffman has a new deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Then, the youth movement in the rotation could make 2025 interesting for the Rockies as Chase Dollander gets ever closer to cracking the big league rotation and will be one of the significant storylines to watch in spring training. Finally, we do our second projection and expectation round with shortstop Ezequiel Tovar! Already considered one of the best shortstops in baseball, Tovar showed a lot of growth in 2024 but also struggled with plenty. The guys break down what makes him good and the important aspect of his game that needs to be addressed tenfold in 2025.
