"Cargo" has been a free agent since the end of last year leaving many people to wonder where he would go if he left Colorado.
But, he's not going anywhere and that's proving to be good news for a lot of people.
It's like Christmas in March and Santa was good to us.. We asked for a 2018 Cargo and sure enough, we must have been a really good kids last year! @Rockies https://t.co/3GkGyyPj77

Cargo and the team agreed to a one-year deal worth $8 million - a pay cut considering he made $20 million last year.
