———- Nolan Arenado 8 years $260 million!!!

[ikid2groove415]

Better then Harper and machado

[franklee168]

Since he is better than both players, he should get paid more.

[Matt17]

Resigned with the rockies?

[ikid2groove415]

Since he is better than both players, he should get paid more.

He wasn’t a free agent until after this season- not every player is greedy for every dollar

[jjgold]

2 years from now terrible

[ChuckyTheGoat]

How much is Yelich going to get on next contract?

I'm sure he wishes he was FA RIGHT NOW!

[Stallion]

Is this official??

[johnnyvegas13]

Wow

No way he’s worth that

[Cuse0323]

At least he almost hits .300

Better deal than 10 years for Brycey boy.

[slayer14]

He is hitting at coors field of course you get decent batting numbers

[Cuse0323]

Still gotta get it in play, and he plays a real position. Not dumped in RF.

[jtoler]

crazy most people never heard of this guy and wouldnt recognize him with a baseball uniform on. at least he was smart to stay in colorado where his numbers can stay inflated

You're an idiot, his road stats is pretty trash compared to home stats, hitting .347 at home and .248 away, every freaking rockies players look like the second coming of BARRY BONDS and when they play outside of coorsfield, they look very average and very overrated.

Even for all those years before, he was only ABOVE average, no where near MVP level of stats, dude got really good defense but he's NO Machado imo. Machado offensive output far superior than Arenado will ever be.

Stop being a dumb penetrate and learn to read the stats, he's Above average offensive player overall, and playing gold glove defense, thats about it. He will never sniff MVP chances outside of coors without his inflated offensive output, only idiots like you buy into that kind of stupid inflated stats.

hmm so if he didnt play for colorado no way he'd be getting 260 mil batting .248

Another Pusey ghosting with 20 names - how many games machado help Baltimore win last year? Camden yards is a pitchers ballpark? Dumb fck !!

[thereikid]

I think this is a good call for both parties!

What’s Harper hitting cuz?

[clockwise1965]

Arenedo is a very good player, there is no question about that. Excellent defensively and a multiple gold gloven winner.

His offensive stas are good and because he plays at Coors field there are great. The offensive stats are inflated.

There are several examples of players being traded to the Rockies and having career type years. Michael Cuddyer may be the best example. He was a journeyman player for the Twins. When Cuddyer was traded to the Rockies he won a batting title in 2013.

No professional athlete is worth 260 million. Can you image trying to make 260 million dollars in the real world of business, but then again sports salaries are not the real world.

[jtoler]

thats my whole point I said yesterday he isnt worth the 300 mil or whatever theyre talking about

I mean he's a very good player away from Coors


but there are 20-30 other guys that could put his numbers up playing at coors

He is a winner - and plays the game the right way - I GURANTEE you if he was a free agent several teams would give him a 300 million contract - he wouldn’t have to wait like machado and Harper - Case closed !!

[Chi_archie]

decent player

[ridgeway]

It's probably a good deal for both.

[ikid2groove415]

He’s easily the best position player in the NL- I seen this guy kill the giants all the time - he would be way bigger if he play in New York or Boston

You have no clue what you are talking about other than being an idiotic fanboy. He's good, no doubt, hell that's why he's an allstar, but please don't give me bullshit like he's mvp worthy type of player, he is not. He's a winner huh???? a winner hitting .190 .174 OBP, and .507 OPS postseason hitting career. It wasn't a lot of Abs, but he hasn't done shit to be considered a winning player. His war stats was 5.6 last year, and that's only about half of what Mookie betts/Trout is at; so cut your bullshit about this DECENT player and hype him as if he's in the trout/betts or even machado caliber.

[jjgold]

pitching wins

playoffs everyone bats 150

Yeah that pretty much tells all. Guy is a really good hitter and a great defender, and a winner type. But if he wasn't on the Rockies, he'd be basically an afterthought. Still, they were right to keep him and he was right to stay. Deal seems fair enough.
