having (once) been a Red Sox fan for a long long time - and i'm sure this applies to every fanbase, not gonna be too naive here - i'm sure there's a lot of bending over backwards to justify it. Not to mention if this were, say, the Yankees there'd be all sorts of online haymakers thrown.
but yeah, the timing was/is pretty impressive :D

So Justin Turner is told he is positive for the most contagious deadly virus in a century, is forced to leave a deciding WS game, then willingly goes out and puts his peers and the press in danger and suffers no consequences. If you're the President then fine, but I like to think we hold our ballplayers to a higher standard.

He could have just floated on his big contract, like Puljos. Why try to get an edge at 38?

Tanaka just limped back to Japan without receiving any offers. Top 20 SP for the past 7 years, 31 yo.

All of me except the part that knows the Yankees would love to walk away from Stantons contract thinks this trade is ridiculous.

After listening to Rosenthal break down the trade a little more it’s starting to make some sense. Arenado had a no trade clause with an opt out after the 2021 season. Thoughts were that he was going to opt out and would likely walk during free agency. So now the Cardinals take the risk of the opt out and basically sold some mid tier prospects for the 50million. Still a crazy deal and good for St Louis for landing a massive fish.

Is Ozzie Smith the Rockies' team president?
Re: 2020 MLB Season, Sponsored by Sprint
This is the type of trade the Yankees typically pounce upon, and deal Urshela the same day for younger pitching in the process.
Stanton kills that idea though, because Brian Cashman is probably the most overrated professional on the planet.

Any idea how the Rockies’ cash commitment is structured? If Arenado opts out after this year, how much salary are the Rockies covering?degenerasian wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 11:44 amAfter listening to Rosenthal break down the trade a little more it’s starting to make some sense.

Re: 2020 MLB Season, Sponsored by Sprint
From what I've heard, if Arenado opts out after 21 or 22 (that was added on in restructuring) the Rockies owe nothing. So the Cardinals will have to dodge two bullets, not one.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:49 pmAny idea how the Rockies’ cash commitment is structured?

Re: 2020 MLB Season, Sponsored by Sprint
Its hard to ever know without knowing which moves the family has dictated or blocked. They do incredibly well with smaller signings and not trading the wrong prospects but the massive dollar deals miss as often as they hit, at best.
Re: 2020 MLB Season, Sponsored by Sprint
I think it's safe to say Hal has Cashman on a tight leash this off-season. Letting a middle of the rotation Tanaka go back to Japan proved that.
