[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1520279, member: 588522"] I'd be interested in an Arenado deal if they eat a decent chunk of his salary (which wont happen enough to make a straight one and one trade make sense). He's essentially the same offensive player Bryant is in terms of ERA+ (though I'd give Bryant the edge), but a plus plus defender. A yearish older, but we get 7 years of him, opposed to 2 out of Bryant. Maybe if we could shed more salary, I'd entertain it, but that Arenado contract is gonna start looking real bad if his production doesn't keep up into his mid 30s. In terms of a Bryant deal for anyone else, I think you have to base what you're giving up over the next two years; highly doubt we see Bryant in a Cubs jersey come 2022. If you can get controllable, high ceilling pieces that will contribute for the next 4-5 years, I think you take that. In any case, I'd still like to see Contreras traded first out of all of the big names. His value is as high as it'll ever be, Caratini is a much better catcher (and a ready replacement), and there's some decent catcher prospects in the farm system. If we don't move any bigger names, I still think this team can win the division. [/QUOTE]
