Arenado now has a franchise record six Gold Gloves. He is the seventh third baseman to win at least six Gold Gloves, the third NL third baseman to do so (Mike Schmidt, Scott Rolen). Arenado and Schmidt are the only NL third baseman to win at least six consecutive Gold Gloves.

#Rockies Nolan Arenado immediately thanked me for congratulatory text. As did DJ LeMahieu. These two are humble and embrace the grind of practice, of the small details. They play winning baseball because they put in the time. Over and over again. Happy for them both. #Denver7

Now for something completely different, #Rockies Nolan Arenado won his 6th consecutive Gold Glove tonight. And DJ LeMahieu won his third. Well-deserved. Nolan could go down in history as greatest third baseman ever. #Denver7

Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado smashed 38 home runs to lead the National League. Shortstop Trevor Story hit 37, including a memorable 505-foot, three-home run game on Sept. 5 vs. San Francisco that ranks as the longest in Coors Field History.
Were they Louisville Silver Slugger winners when the awards were announced Thursday? Check, and check.
But move over guys, and make room for German Marquez, who became the first Rockies pitcher since Mike Hampton in 2002 to win a Silver Slugger. Marquez, 23, hit .300 (18-for-60) to lead all National League starting pitchers and also led pitchers with a .350 slugging percentage.
Daniel Murphy agrees to two-year, $24 million deal with Colorado Rockies - http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2...lorado-rockies
I'm excited about this... I guess we're going to play him at 1B, which should plug a big hole in the lineup.

The Yankees are adding an infielder, just not the one many were expecting.
The YES Network is reporting that the Yankees have agreed to a two-year deal with DJ Lemahieu, which if completed would likely close the door on the team signing Manny Machado. The deal is expected to be in the $24 million range.
Lemahieu has mostly played second base, but has seen time at third as well. Lemahieu won the battle title for the Rockies in 2016 , hitting .348 and has a career .298 average. He hit a career-high 15 home runs last season in Colorado.

The Yankees plan to use LeMahieu as a versatile player around the infield. They will use him at second base, first base and third base.

Saw two-year, $24 million deal. Love DJ. Winning player. Tulo has his old teammate in fold #Denver7
Ottavino is a Yankee too.
I am not happy about this, but I don't blame AdamQuote:

They pushed chips to center of table with $106 million on Davis, Shaw and McGee. Davis was fine. Shaw and McGee bottomed out. Need them to rebound because there is no market to trade them

One of baseball's best relievers is heading home. Adam Ottavino leaves #Rockies, signs three-year deal with #Yankees. He will find familiar faces there. My #Denver7 story: http://bit.ly/2CqiTp6

Think #Rockies will miss Ottavino? Hide your eyes. Held hitters to .120 average at Coors Field last season in 34 1/3 ip. Overall, held hitters to .158 average, including .142 mark for righties. He fanned 67 righties in 149 at-bats. Total dominance. Good bye slider, my old friend
Not feeling great about my Rockies this upcoming season. Feels like they gave it their best shot the last two seasons and are now just going to wait for their next window when our young pitching staff has matured and some of our farm guys become contributors. I have very little faith that Nolan will be a Rockie long term, in fact if we start slow I'm prepping my self (and my son who will be very pissed) for a possible trade.
I hope we trade him, honestly... These mega contracts in baseball are ridiculous - and ending up in some Pujols-like 10 year deal is going to end badly... Flip him for some real assets while he has value because we're never going to be the team who can rebuild through free agency.Quote:

2b will be McMahon or Rodgers.Quote:

I'm curious about Rodgers' defense. I know defense in baseball basically doesn't matter but it's actually my favorite aspect of the game. I would much rather watch a great defensive play than a HR.
Not a surprise: Arenado is getting $26 million in arbitration, which is a record.
