Nolan Arenado and the Colorado Rockies are finalizing an eight-year contract extension worth $260 million, locking up the star third baseman with a deal that can last through the 2026 season, league sources told ESPN.
After months of discussions, the agreement came together in recent days after the Rockies guaranteed an eighth season, according to sources. The deal, which will keep Arenado from reaching free agency following the 2019 season, will set a per-year record for position players.
