Rockies, Nolan Arenado Make $260M Deal Official - CBS Colorado
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.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest updates. Here’s what’s widely known about Nolan Arenado’s contract situation up to the recent past, with guidance on where to look for current news:
- Arenado’s long-term deal with the Colorado Rockies was finalized in 2019, a sizable eight-year, $260 million extension, featuring a full no-trade clause and an opt-out after the third season for potential free agency. This deal tied him to Denver through 2026, with later discussions framing his future with the team around opt-out decisions and trade possibilities.[3][4]
- In the years that followed, there were frequent trade rumors and analysis about Arenado, including speculation about market interest and the Cardinals’ or other teams’ potential involvement, but concrete, widely reported trade or contract changes were limited relative to those rumors. The situation has been described as relatively quiet on the trade front during certain periods, with talks not progressing to a concrete deal.[7][9]
- By late 2024 and into 2025, reporting indicated minimal traction on trades involving Arenado and note that the Cardinals explored options but did not execute a deal, keeping Arenado with St. Louis for the foreseeable future at that time. There were also coverage pieces discussing the market dynamics for Arenado and the Cardinals’ financial considerations in relation to maintaining or moving him.[5][8][9]
