The Colorado Rockies’ season is winding down, and with it, the news cycle. Seriously, have you guys noticed Patrick Saunders has been largely absent at the Denver Post — especially on Twitter — and even Thomas Harding and the folks at MLB.com seem to be a revolving door nowadays?

Part of it is, hey, end of September for a crappy team. Another part, though (at least my opinion) is that changes are a-comin’. Get ready for something this winter, some media shake up. New beat writers, different tactics, don’t know what, but it’s comin’.

• Charlie Blackmon swipes 40 bags.
