DENVER (AP) — Jim Tracy says he wants to return as manager of the Colorado Rockies next season even though the team is on pace for the worst record in franchise history.

Tracy said he hopes to have conversations in the coming weeks that will lead to him fulfilling his contract that runs through next season.

Tracy took over as manager 46 games into the 2009 team and went 74-42 and led the Rockies to the NL wild card. But injuries and a shaky pitching staff this season put the Rockies at 62-94.
