MLB free agency is currently on hold while the lockout negotiations (or lack thereof) continue to drag on, but that hasn't stopped some players from expressing certain demands for when the market opens back up. Former Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is one of the top remaining players left in free agency, and he has one request for teams interested in adding him to the roster. According to Patrick Saunders, Story isn't interested in changing his position in order to better fit with a new team.

Saunders' report could impact some teams' interest in Story, especially those clubs with a sound option at shortstop who were hoping to convince the slugger to move over to second base or third base. Among the teams interested in Story include the Yankees, Astros, Nationals, Mariners, Cardinals, Twins, and Cubs, among others.

Shortstop is the only position Story has ever played throughout his six-year MLB career, apart from the occasional game at DH. While Saunders insists that Story has a strong desire to keep playing shortstop, he does report “that could change” depending on what team he signs with. If no team is willing to meet Story's demands in free agency, there's a chance he'd reconsider his stance on playing shortstop in order to lock down a new contract.

The 29-year-old is coming off a down year with the Rockies, having slashed .251/.329/.471. The two-time MLB All-Star hit 24 home runs and drove in 75 RBI, while also turning in below-par defensive performances. Story is just two seasons removed from back-to-back Silver Slugger awards, having hit 72 home runs between 2018 and 2019.
