iWiN4PreP 664 Posted January 29 Good. It's about damn time Colorado made some moves. They need to sell off, badly. If I were them, I'd sell Arenando for literally anything. Just get his contract out of the way as they aren't going anywhere. I'd trade German Marquez for an absolute haul (hopefully to the white sox). I'd play the youngsters, see whaat I have, and then try to find a way to break the SP gap at Coors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harold's Leg Lift 1,241 Posted January 29 He was almost traded to the Mets so had to figure he was going to be moved somewhere though I figured it would be to the Dodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't give Colorado much more than a lottery ticket for Arenado. He's good but teams could have had him when he was a free agent. It's like the Bears trading for DeShaun Watson.

Harold's Leg Lift 1,241 Posted January 29 Arenado was never a free agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting his contract off the books for Colorado is all that should matter for them. The one tough thing is that Nolan has an opt-out I think after this year. So any team trading for him has to consider that risk. Edited January 29 by iWiN4PreP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominikk85 499 Posted January 29 You can't give them much not only because of the contract but also the opt Outs. The opt outs mean if he is great he might opt out and if not you are stuck with the contract so you only get the downside of the big contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyyle23 2,833 Posted January 29 The Arenado thing has seemingly dragged on for five years. IMO They really missed the haul they were looking for when they didn't deal him right before they signed that large extension Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harold's Leg Lift 1,241 Posted January 29 The only way the Cards take the entire contract is if the Rockies take back a bad contract (Carpenter, Mikolas). That's why the Mets deal fell apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rowand44 715 Posted January 29 The Arenado to the Cards thing is a rumor that happens basically every year and never materializes. Highly, highly doubt something comes of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highly, highly doubt something comes of it. This time it feels real tho. That tweet is brand new... players are talking to each other, Arenando seems to be OK with voiding the no trade clause. IMO this looks like it happens. It makes way too much sense for the Rockies... they are going NOWHERE looking up at Dodgers + Padres Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
