Nolan Arenado, the Colorado Rockies All-Star third baseman, wants to play for a winning team, whether that’s in Colorado or somewhere else. This should come as little or no surprise to anyone who has followed this storyline and its evolution since 2019.
Much has been made about Nolan Arenado’s comments to ESPN’s Karl Ravech during the Gold Glove Award ceremonies earlier this week. With an opt-out clause in his Colorado Rockies contract following the 2021 season, Arenado could walk away from Denver in the middle of an eight-year, $260 million deal he signed before the 2019 season.
