What are the practical upshots of this? Do they have any say in operations?

It could only be a positive thing right? I mean, I’m not sure it could get worse.

Oh my goodness we’re gonna compete with the Dodgers

It’s better for baseball when there isn’t such huge disparity in payroll. This is a huge step forward for the Rockies if they help contribute to the growth of the market for the Rockies

Walmart money. Let’s see if they put it to good use or if they get more Kris Bryants

Holy shit. I never thought I’d see Dick do something like this but this is a huge deal. May actually be able to start going to games again

I know he’s almost certainly not part of this transaction but the idea of Lewis Hamilton showing up to Coors just tickles me

ROCKTOBER NEVER ENDS

Everyone needs to read the column:
> Penner Sports Group — the family entity of Greg and Carrie Walton Penner that holds a large stake in the Broncos — now becomes the largest minority partner of the Rockies. Sources told The Denver Post that the Penners are purchasing a 40% share of the Rockies.
> Greg Penner will remain CEO of the Broncos, and fellow primary owner Carrie Penner, his wife, will continue on in her various roles with the team. The Penners will have no day-to-day involvement running the Rockies, a source said.
> According to the Rockies, the Penners’ investment allows the franchise to retire all outstanding debt and provides additional capital for the team.
> Dick Monfort will continue in his role as chairman and CEO, Charlie Monfort will remain as owner/general partner, and Walker Monfort (Dick’s son) will remain as the club’s president, running day-to-day operations.

Charles and Richard Monfort having to share a Wikipedia entry is unintentionally amusing to me.
So probably a good thing for the Rockies to have some owners who made their money from sources other than “ConAgra bought our dad’s company”

This was because the Rockies swept the Astros

Rockies always seem to have a good crowd even in the down times – hope they find some maintained success soon
