The Colorado Rockies have lost 100 or more games for a fourth successive season, a run understood to make them only the fifth club in Major League Baseball history to do it. The New York Mets, from 1962 to 1965, are the last club to have lost 100 games in four straight campaigns.

Colorado's fourth season of triple-digit defeats extends a slump across four full years and places the franchise among a group small enough to be counted on one hand. The Rockies have not issued any statement about the milestone, and the club's final loss total for 2026 has not been settled while games remain.

How rare a four-year 100-loss run is

Losing 100 games once is a bad season. Losing 100 games four times without interruption is the sort of record that outlasts the people who presided over it, and only four other clubs are understood to have managed it. The milestone itself offers no explanation of cause: four years at this level of defeat usually reflect problems deeper than one roster, one manager or one summer.

The Mets comparison from 1962 to 1965

The most recent club to match the feat is the Mets, whose four consecutive 100-loss seasons ran from 1962 through 1965. No club repeated it in the six decades between that run and Colorado's, a gap that underlines how unusual sustained failure of this length is at the top level of the sport.

Why the milestone matters

Records of this kind carry beyond the standings. They shape how a franchise is discussed through the winter, how its roster construction and player development are judged, and how much patience supporters are asked to extend. For Colorado, the fourth season turns an isolated poor year into a pattern, and patterns invite questions that a single losing campaign does not.

What is not yet known

Colorado's final loss total has not been fixed, because the season is not finished. The club has not set out any planned changes to its roster, its coaching staff or its baseball operations in response to the run, and it has not commented on the record itself. Beyond the Mets, the other clubs on the list have not been identified.

What happens next

The Rockies play out the remainder of their schedule, after which the final numbers are confirmed and the off-season begins. That off-season, rather than the day the hundredth defeat arrived, is where the club's answer to four straight seasons of this kind will become visible.
