This has the making of a very bad deal for which ever team signs him. My bet is he goes back to the O’s with a smaller contract and years that he thinks he will get. The guy is 31 and had his best year in 2016. He is terrible defensively and best bet is a DH. Any team giving him more than a 3 year deal will regret it.

He’s actually known for being a good defender at first.

Great! Another Draft pick that Dan Duquette can waste.

Probably another absolute stud pitcher who becomes a top-20 prospect by next winter who will then blow out his arm twice.

Another uninformed fan and another draft pick they won’t have because the O’s will sign someone with QO and lose their 1st round pick. The O’s have actually drafted well, they have just given up so many picks in recent years … Ubaldo, Cruz, Gallardo, etc.

Though I would be delighted to see Trumbo re-sign with the Orioles, I doubt it happens. If he does they could platoon him with Davis and first and DH and rotate them both in and out. RF didn’t work for him this year.
However, I think he’ll sign for solid money elsewhere in the AL (or maybe for a NL team needing a 1B.) Lots of team could use a DH like him and three to four years would be a good bet. Just don’t see the Orioles coming up with the money to keep him given what they need to do for Machado down the line.
And yes, Duquette will likely blow the draft pick compensation. Just saying.

I am thinking of a deal between the O’s and the Braves. Atlanta sends superstar LH centerfielder Ender Inciarte, Top 100 prospect SH infielder Ozzie Albies (#4 in MiLB in 2016), and 2016 #3 overall draft choice and top 100 MLB prospect Ian Anderson to Baltimore for 3b Manny Machado plus catcher prospect Chance Sisco plus 1B prospect Trey Mancini.

Has anyone ever accepted their qualifying offer??

Matt Weiters accepted the Orioles offer last year. The biggest name to come to mind is Greg Maddux.
