GM Jeff Bridich and the Colorado Rockies were busy on Friday, locking up key players on contracts to avoid arbitration. The biggest news of the day was a two-year, $29.5-million deal for All-Star and Gold Glove third baseman Nolan Arenado, but Bridich also secured one-year deals with centerfielder Charlie Blackmon and right-handed starter Tyler Chatwood.

Blackmon signed for $7.3 million, while Chatwood signed for $4.4 million, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Blackmon, 30, set career highs in runs (111), hits (187), doubles, (35), home runs (29), RBI (82), batting average (.324, 187-for-578), on-base percentage (.381) and slugging percentage (.552) in 2016. He ranked third in the National League in runs, fourth in batting average and hits, and fifth in slugging percentage and total bases (319). The 29 home runs as a leadoff hitter were the most in the Major Leagues.

Blackmon hit 10 leadoff home runs, which led the Major Leagues. He became just the fifth player in Major League history to record double-digit leadoff home runs in a season, and the third in National League history. He garnered NL Player of the Week honors twice in 2016, and won his first career Silver Slugger award.

Originally drafted by the Rockies in the second round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, the Dallas, Tex., native has a career .298 batting average (667-for-2242) with 345 runs, 119 doubles, 19 triples, 74 home runs, 251 RBI, 134 walks, 384 strikeouts and 101 stolen bases.

Chatwood, 27, made 27 starts for the Rockies in 2016 after missing the entire 2015 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and went 12-9 with a 3.87 ERA (158.0 IP, 68 ER), 70 walks and 117 strikeouts. On the road, he went 8-1 with a 1.69 ERA (80.0 IP, 15 ER), the lowest road ERA in MLB for the season and the lowest in franchise history. He recorded a club-record 27.2-inning road scoreless streak from April 6-May 21, which was the longest by any Major League pitcher since Wade Davis’ 28.2-inning stretch in 2014.

Originally acquired by the Rockies via trade with the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catcher Chris Iannetta on Nov. 30, 2011, the Redlands, Calif., native is 32-31 with a 4.19 ERA (500 IP, 233 ER), 223 walks and 318 strikeouts across parts of five Major League seasons with the Angels (2011) and Rockies (2012-16).
