The 52-year-old executive returns to baseball after spending the last 10 years with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns as their chief strategy officer. He certainly has his work cut out for him trying to turn around a Rockies’ franchise that went 43-119 in 2025 and hasn’t had a winning season since 2018. One of his first orders of business will be to find a manager to lead his ballclub. There were nine managerial vacancies in Major League Baseball when the offseason began, only the Rockies’ gig remains open.

For a franchise haunted by physics, altitude, and analytics, hiring DePodesta feels like an experiment ripped from a sabermetric fever dream — the Rockies’ first real attempt to conquer the mathematical challenges Coors Field presents. The 52-year-old executive takes over as the Rockies’ top decision-maker after spending the past decade in the NFL as the Cleveland Browns’ chief strategy officer. DePodesta’s revolutionary work with the Athletics two decades ago — immortalized in Michael Lewis’ best-selling book Moneyball — helped redefine how modern front offices operate at the time. He later served as the Dodgers’ general manager from 2004–2005 and as the Mets’ vice president of player development and scouting from 2010–2016. DePodesta faces a daunting challenge in trying to conquer Coors Field’s unforgiving offensive environment and rebuild an organization that hasn’t had a winning season since 2018 and has to contend with a loaded NL West division.
