rest - https://kdvr.com/2019/02/27/rockies-...-million-deal/SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Nolan Arenado says he wants to spend his entire major league career with the Rockies and had no desire to become a free agent after this season.
“At the end of the day my heart was here,” he said Wednesday, a day after agreeing to an eight-year, $260 million contract.
Arenado’s deal has a $32.5 million average annual value, second behind the $34.42 million for pitcher Zack Greinke in a $206.5 million contract with Arizona that began in 2016.
Arenado has a full no-trade provision.
He said he wants to emulate Todd Helton and the New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter by spending his entire big league career with one team.
