Always winning an argument when you have to resort to OPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His option was basically the same amount for 2020 as the entire deal he just signed for both 2020 & 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 32 and STEAMER projects that he's at least worth his contract value the next 2 years. He's hardly the bad player you're making him out to be.

Apparently he preferred to stay in NYC and keep his options open for the following season if he recaptures his form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Are we going to have to hear whining about Tatis Jr. for the next decade? I try to pretend the Sox never signed him and SD did. It's been nearly 3.5 years from the trade, we can stop whining now. He's gone and isn't coming back. I support Quin's idea to change either Tatis or Tatis Jr. to Voldemort via filter. Edited December 26, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 This would be interesting and I think a very DOABLE trade for both teams. However, a reply on that tweet brings up a good point - WHY does Atlanta have to send prospects back when Arenando is getting paid his market value?

The Rockies are not dealing Arenado without getting a few legitimate pieces back in return. Also the Rockies would likely have to toss in $20 million or so to help balance out a deal. Tough to see him getting moved, I think Bryant is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, unless Arenado suddenly reverts to a 3 WAR player, he's likely to still provide surplus value above his salary. He's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
