Arenado postgame : "I am anticipating not coming back here"

[Bomber1]

Just my 2 cents - it would be idiotic to eat a large chunk of Arenado’s salary to get rid of him, only to give the 3B job to Gorman.

I hope there is a better plan than that.

The primary motive should be moving Arenado.

Who he’s replaced with in the near term shouldn’t be something to worry about.

I hope they trade him even if it means eating half of his salary.

Personally I would trade Donovan, Nootbaar, and Gorman.
That gives LF to Herrera, RF to Burleson, 3B to Arenado for 2 years, and 2B to Wetherholt.

And I don’t see any good reason to keep Gorman around. He has been nothing short of terrible and it’s no longer a small sample size.

Just what exactly does eating a large chunk of money and moving Arenado accomplish?

A .700 OPS Arenado at least helps due to defense.

A .720 OPS Gorman doesn’t help the team in any way.

"3B to Arenado for 2 years" why???

Because he’s the best 3B they have?
Because they owe him $ 42 million?
Because they should trade Donovan who will bring something back, unlike Arenado?
Because Gorman is horrid?

I’m not sure they will be able to move him.

they can- its just a question of if they basically need to eat almost the whole contract and get nothing in return. that might be what happens

That’s the only way he is moved. Nobody is paying much for what he offers that’s ridiculous.
