[Absolut]

Genius. Trading Donovan for (bleep) will (bleep) off fans.

1. Re-sign Miles Mikolas
2. Not getting a solid prospects package for Donovan
3. Holding on to Nolan Arenado for another season

Two of the above three entries are out of his control- solid package. It may be solid but performance is the key. Anything less the Donovan is a loss.

Second, trading Nado. Don’t you think if possible he’d be gone.

He doesn’t Have to trade Donovan is the return isn’t there. Go for a sure thing or keep the sure thing you’ve got.

Take big risks with other trades.

True, he does not 'have to ' trade Donovan. What he does have to decide regarding Donovan is this ? A. With two years remaining and age 30 when he reaches free agency , how prudent is it to sign him to a long term deal that would take Donovan well into his 30's (a players declining years ) B. If he isnt here for the long term, am I (Bloom) better to get a package now , or wait one year and see what he could bring then , OR keep him for two years and get a compensation draft pick when I put the QO on him .
Those are some of the considerations Bloom is dealing with .

Yes good summary.

Meanwhile, Moe never got more value than he would’ve gotten from a QO comp pick from any of his trades over the past three years. Panic trading just to get something at the deadline. Hopefully that never happens again.
