"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Walt Weiss reportedly has agreed to a three-year extension. (Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Rockies and manager Walt Weiss have agreed on a three-year extension, according to Troy Renck of the &lt;em&gt;Denver Post&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weiss managed the Rockies to a 74-88 record in his first year at the helm. While the team finished last in the National League West for the second straight season -- 18 games behind the Dodgers -- the Rockies' record was 10 games better than their 2012 finish under then-manager Jim Tracy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JAFFE: Are Carlos Beltran and David Ortiz clutch hitters?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Rockies were expected to re-sign Weiss after owner Dick Monfort told a group of writers from MLB.com and the &lt;em&gt;Denver Post&lt;/em&gt; last week he hoped to have a new contract before the start of the World Series. Monfort said Weiss deserved \"a little\" of the credit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From MLB.com:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We haven't talked specifically about his contract, but I expect we'll have an agreement by the end of next week with Walt,\" Monfort said. \"It won't be a one-year handshake. We'll do something that makes you assured he's here for more than a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"It was a grind, and the guy hung in and battled,\" Monfort said of Weiss, noting in particular his response to the Rockies ongoing challenges on the road, where they finished 29-52. \"He's passionate about it. He gets it.\"https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/390152754078838785&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
