That is insane. Trading Otto Lopez? He's a cornerstone guy you're SUPPOSED to build your team around!

Crazy if they trade Lopez.

Relatively speaking be makes peanuts and team has years of control.

If even considering, better be 120% confident Arquette above average to All Star level SS

This is a bad idea even if Arquette ends up being an All-Star level SS. You can't guarantee that what you get back from trading Otto Lopez will end up being equal to or better than what Otto Lopez brings to the team. He's young, he's a fantastic hitter, he has enough power to flip a game's script, he can run, and he's a great defender. Any position that has those qualities is a rare commodity. I need to remind you that he's a shortstop, the premier defensive position.

I completely agree with you
