For the last six-plus seasons, the now-30-year-old LeMahieu (Happy Birthday, DJ!) has been the model of consistency at a position that had been a revolving door in Colorado for quite some time before his arrival in 2012. Unfortunately, the 2016 NL batting champ, two time All-Star and two time Gold Glove winner may be running out of time in a Rockies’ uniform.
The Rockies no longer have control of LeMahieu as he signed for $8.5 million in his final year of arbitration this past winter. With no control over his rights, DJ’s play has him in line for a hefty payday from the highest bidder in the offseason.
