[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1515262, member: 619279"] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1217166571061305345']Passan - "exchange of names not productive"[/URL] Follow up, doesn't sound like its going to head anywhere. The Rockies have never been a rational trade partner. This deal should be like Hudson and lower level minor league lottery tickets like Jhon Torres and Luken Baker due to Arenado's contract, comparable to the return Stanton brought. But the Rockies are going to want real prospects (like Gorman and Liberatore) without holding any of that contract back. If they were able to include Carpenter for salary relief, then maybe that gets the package to Hudson and like Knizner or Liberatore. But that involves both A) Carpenter waiving his no trade clause to play for a crappy Rockies team and B) the Rockies being somewhat rational and getting a bad contract in return. I just don't see this happening at all. The Rockies never should have signed him to that contract, both the total dollars AND the opt out makes him impossible to trade. [/QUOTE]
