Which One Of Boras's Clients (Davis, Wieters or Chen) Will DD Trade First?

[section18]

Which One Of Boras's Clients (Davis, Wieters or Chen) Will DD Trade First? I think he will trade Chen with others in a package deal. Before ST, during ST or before the trade deadline during the season? Possibly Chen and Davis together in a big trade. Trade partners ? Houston, Miami, San Diego? Who has the most money?

I don't see it. The O's will go for it again in 2015. They will keep all three players through the playoffs IMO.

I don't think any get traded unless we are clearly out of it before the trade deadline. And I, knock on wood, sincerely believe we will not be clearly out of it then.

This.

The correct answer is Britton.

Agreed to some degree.

If the O's are in a position were they feel they need to sell it will be because CD is the CD of 2014 yet again and MW is not productive because he has not recovered to the degree where he can be. That would significantly diminish any return for either player. If these two guys produce it will be a good year, if they do not we are in deep and it will likely be a long year IMO

In that scenario though I could see Chen holding some value and being moved. I could also see them move Norris in that scenario.

We would have to be hit with injuries on the scale of TEX last season, for us to be out of it by the TD.

[backwardsk]

I only see Chen as a possibility. But that would be if we are overwhelmed in March by a team that has high aspirations and a pitching injury in ST.

Britton, Chen, Norris, Hunter, and Pearce could all be guys moved if we flounder for some reason. You could add De Aza to that list also.

I meant Britton will be the first Boras client traded. Section18 didn't list him.

None after this year take the pick. IMO I think Davis is gonna be here after this year. Dan will get a deal done.

Say Davis is hitting around .230 with 15-18 HR by mid-July. Could happen. In that case, I can see him being moved for the last half of the season if the O's are in it and need pitching.

Who's going to give us pitching for A few months of Davis?

Especially considering that he costs 2.75 million a month.

It would have to be Davis plus, but my point is I expect Davis to be sufficiently superfluous to make the notion of trading him reasonable. The problem with the exercise as I see it is finding the balance point between value to the O's as a player vs. trade value to another team for any in-season trade. A full year of Davis would have more value, but given his 2014 season and the confusion over whether his 2015 TUE is good or bad thing I think the O's would be selling unnecessarily low in that situation.

I think Pearce would be fine at first if trading CD before the start of the season could get the team something useful in return. I would be in favor of that but I don't expect it. I think the O's would clearly need to be out of it by the trade deadline for any thought of trading Wieters or Chen to be considered. I don't expect that either.

I also think filtering the question by Boras affiliation is fun, but a little bit of a red herring.

Let's keep at least Chen and Matt on a long term basis.
