Rockies’ Nolan Arenado wins 5th Gold Glove; DJ LeMahieu snares his second | The Denver Post
After the snubs in the finalist announcements for the BBWAA awards on Monday I was holding out little hope that any Rockie besides Nolan Arenado would receive a Gold Glove yesterday.

The idea that Nolan is the best defensive third baseman of all time is far from a reach and truthfully longevity might be the only thing standing between him and cementing that idea in everyone’s mind.

With three key components of the Rockies bullpen being free agents, the Rockies will need to rebuild their bullpen once again. They could resign any or all of the departing relievers, but my guess is there will be some new faces added to the mix and the team will also need to count on a few of their young relievers to continue developing.
