This should be the top priority for the Rockies right now. If they lock him up to this deal, then they can try and trade Atkins which they hae talked about. I hope he takes the deal for the Rockies sake.According to the Denver Post, the Rockies are prepared to offer Matt Holliday a four-year contract extension worth about $60 million.
With Holliday under the Rockies' control through 2009, the deal would buy out two seasons of free agency. Given that he'll likely earn $25 million in arbitration over the next two years, $60 million sounds like a fair price.
