Tuesday morning it was reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan that the Colorado Rockies granted third baseman Nolan Arenado an eight-year, $255 million extension. Arenado was set to be a free agent after the 2019 season before this massive extension was made. It is also noteworthy that is happening before Bryce Harper has even found a home.
The Arenado deal has a lot of questions being asked by Chicago Cubs fans regarding Kris Bryant. He is set to become a free agent in 2022 after he makes $12.9 million this year and is arbitration eligible for the next two seasons.
