Trade Mountcastle instead of Santander

[baltfan]

Given that they are working Santander at first, I wonder if Elias is looking to trade Mountcastle instead.  If Santander could play first and also outfield, he would be more valuable in the field.  Santander also walks a bit more.  Mountcastle is a couple of years younger though.

Mountcastle with the 426 foot dinger to left, flatulates in your general direction.

We are seeing Santander's ceiling right now.  We have yet to see Mountcastle's ceiling.

Where's the both option?

Not sure Mountcastle will ever be selective enough.  Santander also switch hits.

Mountcastle is younger and cheaper than Santander, and he has more years of control and a higher ceiling, so I would still trade Santander if one of them is going to be traded.

That said, I just extended Santander, re-signed Trey, and traded Mountcastle to the Twins during the 2022-2023 offseason in the new Orioles franchise I started yesterday on MLB The Show 22 so...

Either one. Depends on the offers for each.

Both

Here's a question: Where's the neither option?

Trade Santander. No longer needed. We have Brett Phillips now. 

[Ripken]

Odor

I'd love to trade Mountcastle, I just don't think we have anyone in the system to replace him that can do a better job

[CynBeth]

Neither.

Stowers played some first in college.  1B was made for LH.  Easier to turn the DP and slap the tag on pickoffs. Not sure why he hasn't gotten any time there in the minors.  He would be my choice if he could play it.

Mountcastle is fine batting 7th on a team of guys who have better swing decisions than he does.
