Nolan Arenado says he's focused on baseball and won't publicly discuss his relationship with the Colorado Rockies going forward.

"There has been a lot of stuff going on that nobody knows about, and I was reacting to what was said, and [that] was out of character for me because I'm very private with my life," Arenado wrote in a statement released to the Denver Post.

"The Rockies have been talking to my agent and me this offseason about a number of things that will remain between us. I will not speak on these things anymore. I'm getting ready for the upcoming season. I'm working hard to get better for my teammates and fans."

Jeff Bridich declared on Monday that the team had ended trade talks for Arenado. The third baseman followed that up by telling MLB.com that there was "a lot of disrespect from people there that I don't want to be a part of."
