Balta1701 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 FWIW, I split the Arenado stuff into a new thread so that it doesn't just become buried here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's every bit as good as Machado and Arenado. He would be a great fit as a #2 hitter. Supposedly he would like to extend in Washington, as well. But if he’s available, hell yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly he is also interested in an extension, and seems to be willing to give the Nats some sort of discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arenado really wants to leave there's not much they can do, but they did their job. Rockies are great about taking care of their own (CarGo, Tulo, Blackmon). I never expected him to hit free agency because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Down to Rendon and Bogaerts....Goldschmidt....JDM, then a real falloff to guys like Ozuna that our own OF prospects should outproduce. Glad I’m not a Bulls’ fan as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox are hellbent on getting a 3B, Ryan McMahon just became very available.... ehhh. him sticking at 3b is questionable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tax situation is pretty rough next year, decent chance they're 3rd year offenders even without Rendon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be more willing to believe the Nationals (or any other team for that matter) will meet his demands before us. Arenado was often thrown around as someone who we could pursue next year. Well, forget about that. The rarity of players like Machado and Harper hitting FA becomes more apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that the White Sox would sign him if he does hit free agency. It's just that he's probably the last of the mega-deal type options out there.

Southwest Sider Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think you gotta spend the stupid money on Harper now just to save yourself from spending stupid money on awful free agents down the road. Earmark that money to Bryce so that you don't have that money to buy more Keppingers and Jays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the White Sox still have a ton of starting pitching...and there's the minor problem of the Red Sox, Yankees, and Astros all needing starting pitching next offseason...
