The Colorado Rockies have announced the promotion of Walker Monfort, the eldest son of team owner Dick Monfort, to the position of executive vice president. This comes at a challenging time for the team, as they are currently experiencing one of the worst starts in baseball history. Walker Monfort, 38, previously served as the team’s vice president of corporate partnerships since 2015 and will now be taking on the responsibilities of outgoing President and COO Greg Feasel, who is set to step down at the end of this year after 30 seasons with the organization.
The Rockies, with a record of 18-62, faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in a home game on Thursday, marking the midpoint of their regular season. Walker Monfort will officially assume Feasel’s role by January, bringing with him over two decades of experience within the organization, having worked in various departments since starting as an entry-level employee in 2006.
Dick Monfort, the team owner, expressed gratitude for Feasel’s contributions to the Rockies over the years, praising his leadership and vision that have helped shape the organization and the baseball community in the Rocky Mountain region. While acknowledging the bittersweet nature of Feasel’s departure, he spoke optimistically about the future with Walker Monfort at the helm, citing his deep understanding of the organization and his fresh perspective as key assets that will benefit the club moving forward.
