For a long time, trade rumors have swirled about Rockies outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Blackmon.
The Rockies of course typically operate on a somewhat tight budget, and Blackmon, who made $3.5 million last season, is second-year arbitration-eligible for 2017 and thus in line for a big raise (particularly coming off a career year). On that point, MLB Trade Rumors projects Blackmon to make $9 million in 2017. Gonzalez, meantime, is owed more than $20 million for the final year of his contract.
