I don’t see how adding Arenado is a bad thing. He makes them a better team. No, he isn’t going to produce like 5 years ago, but he’s a plus defender and legitimizes the lineup.

I don’t care about the money and I’m not worried about him blocking prospects. If they’re good enough, they’ll play, as injuries happen and these things tend to work themselves out.

I know we always want to look at every prospective lineup through the lens of everyone having a career year, but this lineup is potentially well above average, and Arenado in place of Devers at 3B is a huge defensive upgrade.

Duran - LF
Devers - DH
Arenado 3B
Casas -1B
Abreu - RF
Story - SS
Wong - C
Campbell/Mayer/?? - 2B
Rafaella - CF

Because it's big money and big years for an old over the hill guy. And his contract will be a reason they don't sign a big FA because of their garbage internal cap
