With the dust having somewhat settled on the Goldschmidt trade, Michael and I both independently had the same idea: write a piece making the case FOR the trade. We decided it made sense to combine them, so below, you’ll find both our thought. They’re unedited, so there may well be some overlap of arguments, or possibly even contradict each other. But together they represent something of a counter-point to Charlie’s piece, making the case that Goldschmidt should have been a D-back for life. I want to stress there’s room for both views on the SnakePit, and we should respect all opinions.
