[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1520492, member: 26283"] Bryant for Arenado would make some sort of sense IF Arenado didn’t have that opt out after two years and IF the media reports that the Cubs are desperate to get below the luxury tax are inaccurate or exaggerated. The Cubs would get long-term elite production at 3B and the Rockies would get a player that is much easier to flip for prospects. Bryant will be easier to trade for the Rockies because they won’t be asking for ML-ready prospects back. But as it is, the Cubs would have to get a whole heck of a bunch of money from Colorado (Bryant will make about half of what Arenado does) and/or some pretty nice prospects for this to work for the Cubs. Colorado - probably justifiably -believes they can get a better deal for Arenado than that. [/QUOTE]
