I think they will try to move him but will be disappointed with what is offered.  I am a big fan of Trey and would like to see him have a role in the next Orioles playoff run.  I just don't think there is a market for "big bat" power hitter 1B/DH types that have played healthy party much all season and produced 9 home runs in 95 games.

Every one of the 30 teams have an analytics department that have this page bookmarked, and knows that with some better luck and a different park he'd have 15-20 homers.  If he'd been a Red all year his expected HR total would be 25.

I voted yes, but I could see a scenario where the offers aren't good enough and they don't. But, they'll really try to move him and I think someone will likely give enough to allow Elias to pull the trigger. 

(Now watch, they're going to trade Santander instead and announce a 2-year extension for Mancini on Sunday).

I said yes but I could see a scenario where he’s not traded. Like if the team doesn’t get an acceptable offer and wanna ride this thing out.
 

We have 3 against one of the worst teams in MLB this weekend. If we’re 53-49 on Monday and Elias still hasn’t traded him, he might just stay. All that said, it’s at least 80-20 that he’s traded.

I think Mancini stays because the offers will be underwhelming.  After seeing what the Yankees gave up for Beinintendi I would agree.  It won't be d/t Elias worrying about fans' feelings.  I think Elias would trade his mother if the price was right.  I see a higher likelihood that Santander is traded, with a better replacement in Stowers.

What about Cust's inability to run from 3rd to home?

Yea, that guy was a real doofus, didn't need that clownshow stuff on a contender like the 2007 Orioles.  Good thing the O's let him go (after 85 PAs of an .870 OPS) before he could put up those three straight years of 25+ homers and 90+ walks.

Do we really need to save the $3 million in salary he’s owed for the rest of the year?  Because the compensation we would receive would be about the same as the 3rd pick he would net us if he signs a deal worth $25 million. 

And we’re not the Expos. 

No, the money isn't the concern.  It's the value that could potentially be coming back for a player who will not be resigned when he becomes a free agent.

And the compensation is only if the Orioles give him a QO and he declines.

Thanks for clarifying the QO and $25 million. 
 

I’d rather keep him than bring in the equivalents of Peek and Rom.

    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.  
    • This.  I grew up in Northern VA and it always took 1 hour to drive to Memorial or Camden no matter the time of day.  It was always easy to find parking as well.  Now that same drive takes 2-3 hours, and finding good parking is a pain.  Plus, the cost of parking, tickets, food/drinks, souvenirs has skyrocketed.  So the choice is to sit in traffic, fight for parking, pay tons of money for the hassle...or sit on my comfortable couch and watch the game on a huge HD screen for free...
    • Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like anything will be done before next year. The speakers at the park are an embarrassment.  
    • If they keep Ryan they can still get Mayo 350+ at bats. He can be full time DH vs LHP and play some at 1st and 3rd here and there.
