Calling the Ketel on the Block
Re: Calling the Ketel on the Block
The obvious question is “why”? He’s a marquee, cornerstone member of the franchise. I always thought he’d retire a diamondback.
And of course, the next question is “would we want him”?
Depending on the asking price, I’d say “hell yes”. But he’d cost $9MM a year till 2032. But he put up 4.4 WAR last year, hit 28 homers and batted .283
I’d love to have him at the keystone. But I doubt the M’s would pay the cost in terms of contract and prospects.

Re: Calling the Ketel on the Block
Sorry I just thought it was funny that one of the best players in baseball's agent would negotiate a long term contract for less than $10M a season.

Re: Calling the Ketel on the Block
Does this really seem like the kind of long term commitment the M’s would take on? Really? Till 2031? Parting with 2!top prospects? AYS?

Plus Jerry would have to admit he was an idiot for trading him
