Official Mark Trumbo Trade Chatter (DEAL DONE)


Recommended Posts

Only Trumbo haters say this. I can confirm that Baseball people really like Trumbo, Fangraphs Superstatisticians, do not.

Of course they like him.  But most clubs like pitching more. 

 

Trumbo pluses:

Big time power

Lineup presence

Could still get better

Clubhouse leader (from what I am hearing)

Relatively cheap

 

Trumbo minuses:

Doesn't hit for average

Doesn't have any plate discipline

Disappears for a couple of months

Not a very good defender

Could actually get worse

 

Mark is a nice player and if we were to lose him for a below average pitcher, I'd be bummed.  If there is a team that would give us a solid middle of the rotation starter with some club control, that would be great and about what he should be worth all things being equal.  The problem is that because teams value pitching to a greater degree AND some redundancy of value in the market relative to Trumbo, he's unlikely to return the value we would hope.  But all it takes is that one team to believe.
