This line of reasoning is why most fans never understand roster construction, and shouldn't even bother discussing it.
Comparing 1 year of $31M for 3 players to the first year of a huge deal for a player like Harper or Machado as if they are at all similar is exceedingly ignorant.
The "trade them at the back half of the deal" comment is just icing on the cake...as if any of the current failed albatross contracts can simply be moved by the teams they are crippling. Why don't the Angels just move Pujols? Or the Tigers just move Cabrera?
It's mind boggling that folks still compare 1 year deals to 8+ year deals as if the decade long term of the contract means nothing.
The stove is heating!!
If Cincy puts Senzel or Trammel in thats probably better than anything we do. Greene is similar to Anderson. Plus whatever else.
My guess is AA offered Riley, Wilson and a couple lower prospects.
I believe AA offered Pache and Wright, May negotiate to Pache and Anderson, FWIW
I’ll just be glad when it’s over. I’m sick of hearing about it
