A mildly ridiculous exercise, but why not: Bryce Harper bWAR from 2016-18: 7.5 ($330MM contract) Mike Trout bWAR from 2016-18: 27.3 If Trout's next contract were to be valued at just the equivalent in dollars/WAR over the last 3 years, his contract would be $1.2 billion.

The Rockies signed Nolan Arenado to a $260 million contract extension in 2019. From 2015-19, the Rockies spent $256 million on 8 free agents who signed multiyear deals -- those 8 produced a combined -8 WAR. h/t @FoolishBB

Something else to keep an eye on: COL is 1 game behind ATL for the No. 2 seed in the NL at the moment. Should the Rockies win the NL West and finish with the same or better record than the Braves, Rockies would have home-field advantage vs. Atlanta in the NLDS.
