New owner wanted to make a splash, which he did. If they don't resign Lindor to an extension, this will really hurt them but the questions is how much do you commit to Lindor? Is he worth $30+ per year over 7 or 8 years? And then does that contract hurt them when Lindor is 35.

Carrasco is under contract for 3 more years with that last one a team option ($3 million buyout). I think he has at least one more really good year in him and then he will become a back of rotation guy, but both guys are class acts and the fans will love them. I read that both were in tears when they were told about the trade.

And if you read/listen to the local fans here, they are all pissed off. To me this is similar to the 1989 trade of Joe Carter to the Padres, people were really pissed but it brought back Chris James, Carlos Baerga and some 6'5 catcher named Alomar.
