Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy resigned last Sunday, after setting down the team set a franchise record for losses.
After the resignation of Tracy, The
Rockies said that they are looking immediately for Tracy’s replacement.
Colorado finished last in the NL West this year with records 64-98.
Jim Tracy was promoted from bench coach
to manager last May 2009. He was voted the NL Manager of the Year that
season after making the Colorado into the playoffs.
The Rockies went 294-308 under Tracy.
“I was surprised,” Bill Geivett, the
team’s director of major league operations, told The Associated Press.
“I wanted Jim to come back. That’s how we began our conversation on
Friday, that he was the manager. But he called, informed me today he was
resigning.”
