The Colorado Rockies fired manager Bud Black on Sunday despite the team beating the San Diego Padres 9–3 earlier in the afternoon. The Rockies have posted a disappointing 7–33 record so far this season, and lost 21–0 to the Padres on Saturday.

Rockies owner Dick Monfort posted a statement shortly after the news was announced.

"Our play so far this season, especially coming off the last two seasons, has been unacceptable. Our fans deserve better, and we are capable of better. While we all share responsibility in how this season has played out, these changes are necessary. We will use the remainder of 2025 to improve where we can on the field and to evaluate all areas of our operation so we can properly turn the page into the next chapter of Rockies baseball."
