It wouldn’t be unfair to say that the last time the Rockies played a game of any real relevance was October 7th, 2018. That game ended with Ian Desmond flying out to Lorenzo Cain, unceremoniously ending the Rockies playoff run with a 6-0 shutout.
Major League Baseball has player movement unlike any other sport mainly due to the fact there is no salary cap. That means, each and every season, there are familiar faces in new places.
