Saw that. And he's a FA next year. The Astros are going to be more than $20 M over the cap. Verlander is 37. Greinke is 36.

This year could be the beginning of their window closing. If they have any bad injuries it slams shut this year.

Correa will likely have ongoing back issues.  That hurts a lot right there.

It’ll be the Wild West in our division next year if the Rangers get Arenado. 

[Stradling]

If they got Arrenado this division would have the 4 best 3rd baseman, maybe 4 of the top 5?

I hope he gets it and there is so much bad blood he bolts next year...    

I'm positive that the Yankees were his favorite team as a youth.

Well, he's from CT...  So Maybe..  But the Yankees already have nearly 260 million in payroll and Judge will start making Judge sized money next year.   

I hear say it's not about the money though...

[AngelsLakersFan]

Didn't Colorado just sign Arenado to a huge extension last year? Why are they turning around and trying to trade him so quickly?

[mmc]

Remaining available SP options on the free agent market are:

Taijuan Walker

Collin McHugh

Felix Hernandez

Aaron Sanchez

Ivan Nova

Chad Bettis

Drew Smyly

[Stradling]

I’d like McHugh although I thought he was more of a reliever.

Ideally he is, but as a SP, he’s also better than most of what’s left on the market.

Then maybe he is the perfect swing man since we don’t really need a full time 6th starter.

How’s his elbow doing?

His left one is doing great. 

[Hubs]

If they go free agent, minor league deal at this point, I'd grab two of them. If they are talking major league deal, well... not much left.

Was wondering the same.
