Nolan Arenado and the Rockies had an interesting arbitration filing day

Win or lose, Arenado in line for arbitration record | MLB.com
Nolan Arenado and the Colorado Rockies did not reach agreement on a contract for the 2019 season by Friday’s 11 AM MT arbitration filing deadline. In his final year of arbitration before free agency, Arenado requested $30 million, while the Rockies countered with a $24 million offer. MLB Trade Rumors predicted a $26.1 million contract for Arenado. Any of these figures would break the current record for a single-season arbitration contract, which was set by Josh Donaldson at $23 million last offseason.
