Coors is such a unique environment that I don't think you can just go with home/road splits as some kind of indicator of a hitter's "true" talent. It screws with players in a way that affects their road performance.

So we should just gamble and put him on our books for 6-7 years while also giving away actual talent that his road splits are just an anomaly? Keep in mind... I'm not down on Arenado, but getting his contract on the team as is could be a huge problem. We would need to mitigate the risk quite a bit in any potential deal for it to be worth it.

His splits are as bad as Bumgarner's - stay away, stay very far away!!!

As always, your sad attempt at sarcasm is very dumb. MadBum's splits did suck and he will struggle in AZ so I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to prove here. But sure keep being a blind homer fan of certain players instead of actually analyzing potential concerning stats.

Given our surplus of cheap young talent controlled long term, I'm reluctantly willing to add that fourth year for Donaldson. If the DH is added like some have suggested, that would make the deal even more palatable. But even without that, the prospect of a having 1 or 2 down years from Donaldson at a high AAV is worth what he'll bring to the team in 2020 and the bonus is that we'll keep all the young talent that we still have in the farm system. I hate the fact that we'll be giving up a significant amount of financial flexibility, but I think that we'll have some paths open up that will allow us to mitigate that loss in the future.

That choice of win now and pay for it later is the hardest part of maintaining a winner.

Just go get Bryant and leave this JD crap behind. Hopefully Riley figures out how to hit and we aren’t back here in 2 years.

I seriously doubt Bryant gets traded until the ruling comes in... I don't think teams want to give up 2 years worth of trade capital and I don't think the cubs are willing to take 1 year of trade capital so I don't think there will be any traction talks until that is all sorted out, no matter what we want as fans.

What about 1.5 years of trade capital?
 
Keuchel to the White Sox per Passan, 3 years/55.5 mil with a vesting option that can take it to 4/74, Boras is so good.

Way to much for DK
Click to expand...

No ****. What he did for us, extended to a full season, was something like a 1.3 or 1.4 win player. Call it $11 million in value. when he was 31. They're paying for ages 32-34, and maybe 35. They need some serious rebound or this is going to be Chan Ho level bad,
 
If they simply wanted innings, they probably could’ve signed Julion for 3/$30 or so.
 
Not that I didn’t like them, but doesn’t hurt my feelings that Julio and DK are gone.

On the other hand...I’m not entirely comfortable with what we have if no other moves are made. I would really like to see us get Ryu....
