This explains why they were so inactive on free agents. Only concern is that opt-out, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

So the Rockies got nothing in return for a player who is among the best in baseball, and they threw in an extra 50 million?

No wonder their fans hate the Rockies so much. God damn that's a brutal deal.

You guys are acting as though Arenado wasn't going to leave the Rockies next year as a free-agent...

Yeah, giving up 50 million in the deal is a little weird, but Colorado had no leverage if the market was limited due to his contract situation

Leave as a free agent with 5 years left on his contract? How does that work?

He averages, what, 33ish million a year for the rest of his contract. I dont see how he would get more than that regardless of the climate. Opting out would strictly be a team move not a financial one so its almost like a sign and trade situation in that regard
