Who said anything about "giving that away"? I said trade. Ideally we'd get something back that we could use, like in our bullpen. I don't think he's enough to get us something good back on his own, but he's also a good piece to a trade.
And like @Bemorewinssaid, we've still got Cowser and Kjerstad. I'm assuming Mullins is still the CF next year, but in 2026 I hope EBJ is knocking on that door.
We've got more talent than spots that need filling, some of these guys are going to be needed to be traded. And I get that everyone has their favorites around here and while I don't have a favorite amongst the Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers triumvirate, I think Stowers, just based on the fact that he's a few years older than the others, should be the one to be traded. He hits three homers yesterday and now we're rushing to find a spot for him? Please.
That also leaves a guy like Norby, who's going to do the handwringing about him? Doesn't Norby deserve a spot? What about Beavers? What about Fabian? Who's going to stress and fret about these guys coming up and where are they going to play when we've got guys established in the outfield?
I don't think the future of the Orioles revolves around Stowers. I can see a place where he's a part of the future, sure. I can also see a place where he's in someone else's outfield and doing just fine for himself while the Orioles are winning a lot of games without him, too.
