I think if we want a chance to sign him to a long term deal either next year or even in FA I donÂ’t think we want him to experience playing for another franchise, especially a decent team in a WS hunt.
To me heÂ’s untouchable atm. Ofc no ones untouchable with the right offer but I doubt that offer comes through.
I was on this forum calling people idiots that wanted to trade him when he was having a slump to start this year though. Selling low on a 25 year old with an extra year of control and elite metrics that all projected a return to his present numbers was moronic to suggest.
Now would be selling more at fair value in terms of how heÂ’s playing but itÂ’s so hard to convince the top stars to come up to Canada to play. Not as much as the past but yes still. Like we obviously werenÂ’t going to get Ohtani, weÂ’re not gonna get Soto when he becomes a FA, we couldnÂ’t get Tatis Jr or Julio Rodriguez etc etc.
If you have a home grown star this good who likes it up here already you try to keep him.
