MLB Hot Stove: Dodgers trade for Nolan Arenado?

27 comments

1. they don't need him if they can't sign teo and trade for this dude the offense will be instantly weaker.

2. It’s a mistake to not be in. No one is asking to trade Muncy for Arenado but CT3 and or Lux should do it.

   Let’s hope they don’t regret not being in on it when he ends up in SD and Muncy says he’s injured again.

3. Rather keep Max ! Pass On Arenado !

4. Trade him. Muncy is a career .200 hitter, and he disappeared in the playoffs, again.

5. Trade Lux. Muncy plays 2B and Nolan 3B.

   When Freddie needs a day off which he will have to because he is getting older and not to mention his recent surgery and injuries, etc. then Muncy or Nolan can cover 1B.

   Lux sure cannot do that. He’s the odd man out

6. Jeff’s opinion doesn’t count… he wanted Dodgers to spend over $650M on Soto with his 💩 defense. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂

7. I seem to recall a guy named Teo something? Does anyone know what happened to him? Should we file a missing person’s report?

8. Omfg stop talking about this. Muncy > Arenado this is just ridiculous

9. In a perfect world, you have both and platoon them lefty righty. It's not gonna happen.

10. KRAZY TALK….Muncy would be worse than a fire hydrant at 2nd base.

11. re: arenaldo, 1) his aav is $25.6, 2) $74m owed for 3 yrs, 3) i think the dodgers are at 110% luxury tax for this extra salary. 4) salary + luxury tax = $74m + $25.6m x 110% x 3 = $158.5m for 3 yrs…

12. Don’t need Soto. Adames at short, leave Betts in rt field, where he’s terrific and hits, too. But they missed on Adames. Still keep Mookie in right. Conforto is insurance because you need to sign Teo! And find a real SS.

13. He’s garbage. Muncy is 30 times better given the offensive production and cheap contract Muncy is on. Muncy also graded out as a decent defender

14. You can tell who hasn’t watched a baseball game in forever when they bang the door down for Arenado lol. Guy is washed those Rockies days, prime Cardinals days are not there anymore. Look at his recent production, and his age. Not the name on the back of his jersey.

15. WHY EVEN TALK ABOUT IT MUNCY IS OUR 3RD BASEMAN AND HES STILL UNDER CONTRACT. ARENADO IS NOT THE SAME PLAYER ANYMORE.

16. HELL NO!!!

17. Muncy proved in the world series his hitting prowess

18. Anyone who wants Arenado doesn't know ball. Not much else to say.

19. Smith behind the plate. Freddy Freeman 1st
    Monkey betts 2nd
    Tommy Edmond SS
    Max Muncie 3rd
    Teascar Hernandez Lf
    ? CF RF

20. Yes trade muncy I would and Taylor for aranndo

21. Muncy on the decline trade him

22. rather have muncy than arenado. nobody deserves contracts or trades with diminishing returns. the older players get the worse they get.

23. What ? Arenado much better than Muncy on both sides of the plate. So you believe the left side is still good enough ? Arenado also hits 40 points higher than Muncy and low K rate. You don't even have to trade Max,instead trade that bad contract of Taylor's and add a prospect or two with Cards eating some of Arenado's money. Muncy is just a 2 outcome hitter,walk or strikeout. And he is also on other side of 30 y.o.

24. Arenado seems like a guy for the Red Sox. He would do nothing but Bash balls off the green monster.

25. Trade Muncy!! Inferior defensively
    200 hitter. DOES NOT HIT IN THE CLUTCH!!! Arenado still gold glove and he will hit in the clutch
    Coming to will give him a big boost!!!

26. Arenado is an upgrade over Max Muncy, especially on defense

27. Stay with Muncie!
