Clint Hurdle is leaving the Rockies after decades in the organization, ending his latest stint as a special assistant to the general manager. The former manager, whose tenure included Colorado’s 2007 World Series run, says he isn’t retiring and is reassessing his personal and professional path.

By the Numbers
  • Hurdle managed the Rockies from 2002 to 2009, winning 534 games in 1,159 games.
  • He managed Pittsburgh from 2011 to 2019, making the postseason 3 times and earning National League Manager of the Year honors in 2013.
  • He played 10 seasons in the majors, from 1977 to 1987.
State of Play
  • Hurdle’s departure takes effect Oct. 31, 2026.
  • He most recently worked with Rockies prospects and farm-system coaches during the team’s fall instructional program in Arizona.
  • He has a public-speaking schedule and is working on a second book.
Bottom Line

Hurdle’s exit closes a long chapter with Colorado, but not necessarily his baseball career: He says he’s recalculating, not retiring.
