Patrick Corbin could be on the move

The Dbacks should handle Corbin the way the Yankees handled the Chapman deal.
Trade him
Get assets back
Sign him in the off season
Win-win

Probably because they realize this team isn't winning a WS with or without Corbin.

Might as well get something for him.

It is highly probable that Corbin will sign for next season with his hometown team, the Yankees.
If we can trade him now and get something in return, it would be to the D-backs benefit.
And, obviously, we do not have the lineup to get us to the World Series ... or probably, into the playoffs.

I Hope today’s performance was just a hiccup.
Need to keep that trade value high.

Uhh... such a bummer. He's having a Cy Young caliber season (even with today's disaster), moving him is so depressing... but... you've gotta move a player as good as him when they're in a contract season... and you've not no chance at anything but winning the pennant of a terrible division.
Barring a serious turnaround for several of our hitters, we're about 4 weeks away from being in 4th. I dunno if the market for a stud like Corbin will be better in late July than in the next few weeks... but we need to figure it out, fast.
Or convince the Red Sox to trade us Martinez for Tomas.
That Tomas signing... which I admittedly supported... has really screwed us hard.

Baseball is amazing to me how teams jettison talent so readily. Don’t get me wrong, I get the reasoning and agree selling high on Corbin is likelybthe right course of action. But you only see the “buyer/seller” concept in other sports to a MUCH less degree. Virtually NEVER a star level player. I think it’s one of the worst things about baseball . . .very little continuity of personnel.
Martinez gone after a brief shining moment
Corbin likely gone
If you don’t keep your best players what do fans have to cheer for. I swear I had to relearn much of the roster this year and that was after following it pretty closely last year.

Why the presumption he wouldn't sign a contract here? We're not garbage time sellers. Gotta look beyond the tips of our own noses. You don't get better giving away all your best players every year because you can get a decent price for them. We're not rebuilding, we're just the last year or two emerging FROM a rebuild, and it's showing, (the last three weeks notwithstanding) we were the best team in baseball to start the year. Let's get Lamb back in full time. Let's get Ray back. Let's get Pollack back. Let Souza see the field. We'll bust out of this thing. Our pitching has actually been generally great, and we have the best D in the league statistically.

I like the way you think.

This hot take seems to ignore virtually every aspect of the financials and contracts this team is currently facing.
It also ignores how teams like HOU and KC ended up WS champs and why ATL looks like a more promising franchise than we do right now.

Baseball teams rely less on a single individual talent than any of the other major sports. Because of that, you need a ton of talent. Talent is expensive unless it's young. Therefore teams that look to acquire the most young talent typically go on to be successful. That's why you see teams sell off their singular talents on mediocre to bad teams more in baseball.

Yeah DBacks need to restock their farm system and get a youth movement going, imo.
Don't know what happened in the off season about moving Grienke. That alone could have landed them Martinez and a better shot at keeping Corbin. That and the Tomas signing has hamstrung this franchise. IF they move Corbin and they can't keep pace, then.......?? Is Duplantier ready? Who else?
If they keep Corbin and he signs elsewhere this off season, don't they get a comp pick after round 1 of the draft?
