When the clock struck midnight and New Year’s Eve became New Year’s Day, a decade of history closed on the Colorado Rockies and a new decade filled with possibilities opened.

The Colorado Rockies will start the decade looking to rebound from a 71-91 mark in 2019. They will also be striving for their third playoff appearance in the last four years thanks in part to a solid core of position players in Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon as well as a trio of starters with plenty of potential in Kyle Freeland, Jon Gray and German Marquez.
