Saturday Rockpile: Tommy Tanous discusses the Rockies draft and adjusting to baseball at elevation

Colorado Rockies assistant general manager of player development and scouting Tommy Tanous recently reflected on his debut season with the franchise during an appearance at Rockies Fest 2026. Tanous, who previously spent a decade and a half with the New York Mets, noted that joining the team was an A-plus experience largely due to reuniting with former boss Paul DePodesta.

During the conversation, the executive detailed how his annual calendar shifts between amateur scouting, video reviews, and draft preparation in the spring, followed by visiting organizational minor league affiliates for player development work throughout the remainder of the year.
