Not really. It makes perfect sense to trade him. This guy is fearless. Great player but he probably won't age all too well. And the next few years will be his prime. Yotes hopefully are smart enough to understand that they are not going anywhere the way the roster is constructed. Rebuilding and trading Garland in the process makes a ton of sense for them.This one's tough for me to understand. Garland could very well be a highly valuable piece for any top-9 group for years to come. This seems like someone that Arizona should do everything in their power to keep, not trade away. In any case, though, I'm sure the Canes would love to have him.
This guy was dogged in the draft because of attitude issues or something that GMs don't like about him and now Arizona wants to get rid of him. Something isn't adding up here.
Bjornfot+Kupariwonder what his contract demand is.
LA and Arizona are no longer divisional rivals. would love him in LA.
