After Walt Weiss’ exit, the Rockies move forward to find a replacement

Walt Weiss will not return as Rockies manager | rockies.com
After four years at the helm, Rockies manager Walt Weiss stepped down yesterday with a career mark of 283-365 with the club. None of the four seasons with Weiss in charge saw the Rockies finish above .500, with the team’s 75-87 mark in 2016 standing on the best record under Weiss. With a young team hoping to emerge as a contender in 2017, Rockies general manager will have his first chance to hire a manager.
