A mere 11 months after Nolan Arenado signed an eight-year, $260 million contract extension, his relationship with the Colorado Rockies has fractured and his tenure with the organization may soon be coming to an end.
The face of the franchise has been hypercritical over the direction of the team, noting the disparity between the Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers. With the start of Spring Training on the horizon, Arenado broke his silence by accusing the Rockies of being disrespectful.
He declined to elaborate but noted that sentiment was not rooted in trade rumors. Arenado’s comments came soon after Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said the team was backing away from a potential trade to focus on Spring Training.
