Arenado agreed to a two-year, $29.15 million deal with the Rockies on Friday, avoiding arbitration, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will receive $11.75 million in 2017 and $17.75 million in 2018 and will have one more arbitration-eligible year in 2019 before becoming a free agent after the 2019 season. Arenado was never in danger of leaving Colorado, so his long-term fantasy value does not change as a result of this two-year deal. He enters the year as a clear first-round fantasy talent.
