Rockies, Nolan Arenado Reach 1 Year Deal

DENVER (CBS4) - The Rockies and All Star third baseman Nolan Arenado have avoided arbitration and reached a one year deal, worth a reported $5 million.

The three-time Golden Glove recipient will be a free agent after the 2019 season.

Arenado was the brightest spot on the team after the Tulowitzki trade last season. He tied for most home runs in the National League with 42 in 2015.
