While the Rockies are working on which free agents to pursue this offseason, there’s a big question mark looming over Colorado for next offseason. It involves Carlos Gonzalez and the seven-year, $80 million contract that will expire when the 2017 season ends.
CarGo is set to become a free agent next season, but there are continued signs that the Rockies and their All-Star outfielder are interested in continuing to have CarGo in purple pinstripes. Reports out of Venezuela (CarGo’s home country) have said that there is interest on both sides but still a lot of work to be done in order to make the extension a reality.
