With the Rockies still open to trading star third baseman Nolan Arenado, the club hopes to have some discussions with the Mets.
"The team that I am watching very carefully–that I was told even this week is the team the Rockies want to engage with–is the New York Mets," Jon Morosi reported on MLB Network's Hot Stove on Wednesday morning, via SNY.
According to Morosi, the Rockies are looking to cut some payroll in order to sign pending free agent Trevor Story. However, the club does not want to trade Arenado to the Dodgers and would prefer to send him to a team outside of the National League West.
