Mayo at 3B is an oblong peg in a round hole. You could wedge him in there but he really doesn't fit. Westberg has shown that he is a much better option there, IMHO. Where else are you playing Holiday? He seems to have a solid skillset for 2B that needs to be refined a bit. I believe in his bat and think he will hit. Is he the guy you groom to lead off? That would be my strategy if I were making decisions. He will continue to develop the bat to ball skills necessary, he has the speed. His sneaky power makes him dangerous at the top of the order where first pitch fastballs are still relatively common. Silent J is a logical replacement for Santander. Hopefully Santander gets a QO and rejects it. LH power plays at OPACY. -

O'Neill and Bader are the guys that would interest me as a CF/OPACY LF capable platoon partner for Mullins. Bader is probably more realistic though since O'Neill should easily be able to find an everyday gig somewhere. -

I agree that holding on to Robert and hoping for a rebound season to rebuild his trade value is their best course of action right now. He's an MVP level talent when healthy and firing on all cylinders. -

I think you’ve got to go into ST with the hope that all three are able to be every day players but also have a solid backup plan that doesn’t include guaranteeing big contracts or a lot of playing time to others. It feels like Mayo at 1st has been in the cards for quite awhile. Mountcastle and O’Hearn gotta go. Kjerstad is a DH, not an OF unless absolutely necessary. And Holliday is just gonna have to figure himself out at 2B. I’m all for moving him to RF and moving Westburg to 2B and Urias staying on 3B but who knows if that’s even feasible. -
According to Elias Mayo's 3B defensive development is behind his 1B development. To get his bat in the lineup 1B/DH seems like his quickest path the majors. He could still workout at 3B and play there in certain situations but that is not where he will see most of his playing time in the majors according to Elias comment. -

Is Mayo 3B off the table?
