Or shouldn't be the latter, in conjunction with a bevy of other good players. If the Trade were simply Walker for Stanton then all of baseball is in, if Stanton will sign long term. 7 guaranteed years of Walker is not worth giving up for 3 years of Stanton. If he would sign for 7 years, then I'm in.
But that is only on a straight up, one for one, trade. The big risk in a Walker for Stanton deal is the others everybody is assuming we will throw in. I like our others, a lot. I want to augment them....not use them for chum.
BTW, I think there is a lot of Stanton fixation going on here (not in your post, G....thank you). There are plenty of ways to skin the power bat cat. Almost all of them don't invovle giving up Walker ++. How about we explore those avenues, too.
