DENVER, CO — Rockies General Manager Jeff Bridich stepped down from his role, the team announced Monday. Greg Feasel, the team's chief operating officer, will step into the role as interim general manager, the Rockies said in a statement. He will oversee baseball operations — in addition to his current responsibilities — for the rest of the season, the team said. "In his seventh season as General Manager, Bridich brings to a close 17 years with the Rockies organization," the statement read, in part. Bridich joined the Rockies baseball department in 2004 and rose to senior director of baseball operations in 2006. He then became senior director of player development in 2011. Since he was named general manager in 2014, Bridich oversaw the Rockies' only consecutive playoff appearances in franchise history, in 2017 and 2018. The team will search for a permanent general manager after the 2021 MLB postseason is over, the Rockies said.
