With the SS candidates potentially relocating this offseason, teams may look at MS as an alternative if they lose their SS. Heyman predicted the other day the Twins would get him

I'm certainly not going to give him $25M a year. I agree, he had a career year in a relatively old season. I'd much rather give 25M/year to Seager or Story. Problem is those guys are going to require 6-7 year deals, Semien maybe takes a 4-5. Likely we are not going to be upgrading 2B to an elite player, so we should focus on RF to try and get an elite player there.

Arenado he is not, and there was an appreciable/predictable fall off from Coors for him. Seager is the best fit for our line up but not happening in JR's lifetime.

I thought the Rockies players leaving Colorado and sucking (because of mile high) has been proven wrong..

That’s a much bigger risk than Kimbrel because it will be a 4-5 year contract. You’re also wasting his defense playing him at second…but paying him like a premium SS.
