A swap of All-Star third basemen has reportedly been discussed by the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs ahead of the 2020 MLB season.
According to ESPN's Jesse Rogers on NBC Sports Chicago's Kap and Co. (h/t Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago), the Rockies and Cubs have entertained the thought of a one-for-one trade that would send Nolan Arenado to Chicago and Kris Bryant to Colorado.
Arenado is signed through 2026 with a player option after 2021, while Bryant can also become a free agent at the conclusion of the 2021 season after he lost his grievance against the Cubs in an attempt to hit free agency following the 2020 campaign.
