Yeah I think I’m starting to lean toward the Angels not trading him, even if they do get a pretty good offer. I think they’ll take their chances and try to resign him in the offseason.
He could replace Winker as the DH and easily top his production. Plus, he can be a terror on the base paths. I think I’d to it too but the Brewers won’t, unfortunately.
Just for fun, what you all be comfortable with giving up for two months of Ohtani? I’d probably do one of Frelick/Black, one of Gasser/Rodriguez, Luis Lara and a lottery ticket.
Yeah I understand the people management aspect to it but isn’t it just opening up a can of worms for Arnold? Should every Brewer be able to go ask Arnold if they’ll be traded and he has to give them a definitive answer? That really puts Arnold in an awkward situation if for some reason he ends up getting some outlandish trade offer for someone he already told wasn’t getting traded. I’m a huge Burnes fan but I don’t think he should have done that to Arnold and I don’t think Arnold should have answered him the way he did. Just my opinion.
Maybe it’s just me but I find it a little strange that Burnes asked Arnold that question and that Arnold gave him a definitive answer. I mean, what if some team offered up some ridiculous package of players for Burnes or what if the Brewers went on an awful losing streak to close out July? Arnold should have just given Burnes the same answer he would have given the media had they asked the question. Just a weird situation.
