Rockies' Gonzalez: 'I'm not worried about trades'

The Colorado Rockies played their biggest trade chip at the July trade deadline when they sent shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to the Toronto Blue Jays, but general manager Jeff Bridich still has other assets to consider moving in order to rebuild his club.

Slugger Carlos Gonzalez has been the subject of trade rumors for some time, and Bridich is open to the possibility of dealing the 40-homer man.

"Right now, my mind is ready for spring training with the Rockies," Gonzalez told Nick Groke of The Denver Post. "I'm happy where I'm at right now. If we continue to get better as a team, all the young guys, we'll be good."

Gonzalez, who has spent the past seven seasons in Colorado, has two more seasons left on his contract, and won't become a free agent until 2018.

"I'm not worried about trades. I can't do anything with that," Gonzalez added. "The only thing I focus on is getting strength and getting in shape. Right now, I feel good."

The 30-year-old outfielder is still owed $37 million, but with a shortage of power bats across the majors, he could fetch a hearty return in a potential deal.

"There are teams that are definitely starting to ask questions," Bridich revealed when asked about Gonzalez's availability.

Gonzalez hit .271/.325/.540 with 40 homers and 97 RBIs in 153 games. The Baltimore Orioles may be suitable trade partners, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
