A good handful of people on here seem to think he’s pretty valuable.  What do you think he could fetch in a trade this offseason then?  I could see up and coming teams interested in him.  Maybe the Mariners?  At his salary even the rays could be interested
ty france.

I think keeping him for the start of next year is important for roster construction.  It's one fewer position to fill for next year.  I'd rather limit the number of starting position player pickups to 1 or 2.  If he's decent and we are out of contention, he can be flipped at the deadline.  I don't see him as super valuable in trade this offseason because it is only one year of control (plus, of course, the ability to offer a QO if the CBA still has that).
