Colorado Rockies DID NOT want him playing in the same division.

Before a game one September afternoon in 2017, as the Dodgers breezed to another division title and the Rockies clawed for a Wild Card spot, Nolan Arenado walked over to the visitors' dugout at Coors Field. He waved to Corey Seager, who was conducting an interview. Seager went to greet his friend. The superstar who grew up near Los Angeles and the superstar who played for Los Angeles chatted for a few moments before the former went back to batting practice. The latter was smiling as he returned to the bench.

"That guy," Seager chuckled, "wants to be a Dodger so bad."
