Which minor leaguers would you be ok trading?

I will admit, I never really understand these threads.  

Nothing personnel to those that start them, but the only correct answer is that it depends on the return.  No one is actually completely untouchable.

Basallo and Holiday stay, everyone else trade for pitching

I’m not sure that the need for pitching could be more overrated

I prefer to interpret it as “which minor leaguers do you think have more value staying with the Orioles than what they would return in trade.”

So, to me that’s:

(1) Holliday/Mayo/Basallo, who all have runway to be starting players this year or next for Holliday/Mayo and for Basallo as soon as he’s ready (and realistically, are more valuable than any player that will be available).

(2) CF prospects like Bradfield/Etzel/Fabian, given long-term need there.

(3) SPs that could be 2025 rotation options, like Povich/McDermott, or shortly after, like Young/Bright.

(4) High-upside young SP like De Leon and Forret.
