Rockies Expect To Trade Carlos Gonzalez

[Giantmetfan07]

After agreeing to deal franchise icon Troy Tulowitzki, the Rockies plan to shop fellow star Carlos Gonzalez, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. They expect to move him, a rival GM tells Heyman.

That isnt exactly surprising to hear in the aftermath of the Tulo agreement, but its nevertheless notable to see CarGo set to hit the block. While he had not looked himself since the start of last season, Gonzalez has steadily improved all year and has been on fire of late.

It remains somewhat unclear what kind of market hell have, particularly given his recent injury and performance concerns. Gonzalez is earning a $16MM salary this year and $37MM in total over the next two. Thats a bargain if hes a legitimate middle-of-the-order bat, and hardly an unworkable sum for most teams, but theres still plenty of risk. Heyman notes that clubs such as the Mets, Angels, and Orioles all line up as theoretical fits for Gonzalez.
