For most of the offseason, it’s been speculated that the Colorado Rockies would trade superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado just one year after signing him to an eight-year contract extension. While there was never a direct link to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Crew clearly has a hole at third base that Arenado would fill quite nicely.
To sum up recent events, earlier on Monday, Rockies GM Jeff Bridich told reporters that Arenado was off the trade block and would start the season in Colorado. MLB.com’s Rockies reporter Thomas Harding reached out to Arenado, and Arenado told him he felt disrespected by the front office.
