Rumor: Arraez Probably on Commerce Block for Pitching – Minn…

I believe Arraez’ worth is at an all-time excessive. He’s underneath staff management for 3 extra years and coming off a yr when he gained a batting championship and a silver slugger. That is the perfect time to commerce him, figuring out that he could effectively win a number of batting championships sooner or later. 

We all know what he’s: a unicorn in a number of respects–he makes contact, works counts and sprays hits all around the discipline. He has labored to be a greater fielder (and I believe he’s greater than satisfactory at both first or second). His lifetime common over .300 could be very uncommon on this pitcher and energy pleasant period.

We additionally know what Arraez is not–he has important platoon splits, restricted energy, and fewer than common operating velocity. He is handled leg accidents the final three seasons and there’s some indication that there are persistent issues together with his knees. 

A deal must convey again fairly a bit, however I do not assume Luis Arraez is a cornerstone {that a} staff is constructed round.
