Arizona just signs him in FA if they want him, they are rebuilding and aren't about to trade their best assets for one guy
Plus Matthews ain't worth all that

But he is

Arizona shouldn't do that

Arizona will tank like Buffalo and will take on even more bad contracts. Right now Matthews is going nowhere. Brazen assertion that Zona start to build around him. Not one serious rumor in this direction. Maybe...maybe he will end his career back home.

That trade would set the Yotes even farther back in their rebuild

Arizona is just starting their build to get ready for Matthews, Matthews being the last piece in line. Arizona are in no hurry.

Arizona won't be a team in 3 years. They can't pay their players now and are going to be bad through a rebuild. They will without a doubt be gone.

If they want to build around Matthew’s they should continue doing what they’re doing for the next two years and rack up high picks and prospects, and keep Chychrun and then pitch Matthew’s when he’s an FA. No reason to do this.

Easy no from boston
