only ones I’ve heard of was Gomber and Montero. We give up a future Carlson? Seems like too good of a deal for us. Especially something Mo was involved in.

Montero was more or less expendable as well with the arrival of Arenado and Gorman looming, although Gorman may not stick at 3B defensively.

Same here. Seems like a surprisingly nice trade and will be interesting to hear a little more of how the financial details worked out on the $50M the Rockies are on the hook for.
