While Nolan Arenado’s contract status looms large over Colorado’s offseason, the Rockies first must deal with other important roster decisions as Friday’s non-tender deadline approaches.
Players not offered a contract prior to the 6 p.m. MT deadline are non-tendered, thereby making them free agents. In addition to Arenado, shortstop Trevor Story, catcher Tony Wolters and pitchers Chad Bettis, Chris Rusin, Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson and Scott Oberg are also arbitration eligible.
Arenado made $17.75 million in 2018 as he led the National League with 38 home runs, finished third in the MVP voting and added another Gold Glove, Silver Slugger and all-star appearance to his resume.
