Jose Lopez - I think the O's would claim him

[sportsfan8703]

Lopez over Arajuo seems like a no brainer. Lopez has to get to us though in the AL. It would be awesome if we could incrememntallu improve the 40 man spots being held currently by Alberto and Arajuo.

He can eat innings. He’s actually a valuable piece on a team like this. Funny, but true.

I would gladly donate him to the Gnats so you could watch him eat innings more often.

As long as he can be cleared from the roster who cares. Unlike Davis I believe Trumbo can be traded with a good start

13.5M.

The O's would have to send something of value with him.

Would he get a third of that on the FA market?

Unfortunately there's a chance that start doesn't come until June. Trumbo feels more and more like a sunk cost who will play out the year and leave quietly.

I doubt he gets anything but a minor league contract next season. This could be his last year in the bigs, honestly. Dated type of player PLUS serious knee injury?

Trumbo will be lucky to get a guaranteed major league deal next off-season given his recent history with injuries, and his extremely one-dimensional skill-set.

He even acknowledged in an interview that he’d need to have a good season to be offered a major league deal next year.

Could be last year for Cashner as well.  And if Davis was released he would never play another game.

True, but, as you've said, he obviously will not be released.
