[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1520433, member: 29"] What's interesting about Arenado's deal is that it's a two year deal with 5 years of player options. So really, it would be a swap of players with two years of control. Maybe Arenado waives the 5 years of opt outs for a bit more cash, dunno. What I read is that Colorado may pay 8M of the salary. One thing I like about Bryant is his ability to play multiple positions whereas Arenado, the gold standard when it comes to playing defense at third base, only plays there. I agree with Tisdale, if this whole exercise of the offseason is to get under the luxury tax limit, adding Arenado doesn't solve the problem. Moving someone like Heyward (Giants, maybe?) would most definitely help. But then, the Cubs would probably have to eat part of it to move him. I think nothing will happen with this 1 for 1 trade. EDIT: But it's fun to talk about. [/QUOTE]
