Lots of rumors that Arenado is pushing Mo and Dewitt to open the wallet or he’s opting out. Those rumors seem to be true.

Unless he is talking about his own bank account, how the **** do you prove to him you've spent money on the roster before he has to decide if hes opting out? |

Arenado has 5 days after the WS ends to opt-out. What can they do in that time period to assuage him? He opts-out, he won’t be back. |

Sounds like it is not a done deal for Arenado to return but it does seem probable. I like that he is pressing Mo about what the vision is.

Arenado has what passes for a “good contract” these days. Our offense can’t let 30HR/100RBI’s just walk away by the Cardinals choice. |

Arenado didn't really disappear, though. He didn't get results but he wasnt exactly going down quietly. He made a ton of hard, loud contact. Goldschmidt was the one that completely disappeared. When you build a lineup thats pretty much 90% 2 guys and 1 of them is getting unlucky and the other vanishes in thin air, not going to be much offense left.

Arenado was fine - though he had a rough error in that inning that got away from them. Goldschmidt was a disaster through September into the Post-season. He was flat out bad. |

Noot, Yepez, Donovan and Gorman - these are valuable bench players for championship caliber teams. Those aren't guys you worry about blocking in the starting lineup. |

Goldschmidt turned into Cpl. Upham during that series. I don't know how anyone in the organization could ever trust him in a big spot.

At least that is good news. The remaining contract is a bargain after the Rockies pay their part.
