Arbitration projections are here and the Colorado Rockies have seven players on which they'll need to make a decision: one-year deal (or more), file for arbitration (and the always impersonal arbitration process) or non-tender the player (and say goodbye). One player looks like a no-brainer to be gone in 2026, one could be a strong candidate while a third might be dependent on his health status. Who's who?

Whoever takes over as the next GM will need to figure out what to do with the 40-man roster as currently 44 players on the list, including a pair of free agents. If five prospects will need protection in November ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, how many players will need to be waived or DFA'd? And how how does the 60-Day IL work in the offseason?

Plus, a pair of Albuquerque Isotopes elect free agency, Toronto holds out three All-Stars from their ALDS roster and the real reason Brenton Doyle won't get much of a raise in 2026.
