Now the Arenado situation is interesting. You are obviously going to get defensive value with him at 3B. The concern for him would be if the bat continues to slide down. He didn’t have a terrible offensive season last year but he didn’t have an “Arenado” type of year either. I don’t think it’s fair to ask him to repeat his 2022 season where he was one of the best hitters in all of baseball, but it is concerning to see his offensive levels continue to trend down. To get him the Tigers would have to give up prospect capital which I have a feeling Harris is reluctant to do. Arenado is such a name that you could potentially flip him if he gets hot and the Tigers are not. However, if that becomes a reality why dump prospects to begin with? I realize I created a straw man argument here and have no inside info. I just like talking about this stuff.
