DENVER — Trevor Story and the Rockies are nearing a multiyear contract to avoid arbitration — one that could be completed as early as Saturday.
Sources told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand and Jon Paul Morosi of the imminent deal on Friday night. ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported that the contract is worth $27.5 million over two years, covering Story’s final two years of arbitration eligibility, which Feinsand confirmed. The Rockies have not confirmed any details about a potential deal with the two-time All-Star shortstop.
The deal could be completed within 24 hours, but it would still be pending a physical. Story is scheduled to be at Coors Field for Rockies Fest on Saturday.
