No, I think if anything it's more about young players. They have been willing to move vets, but I think they think they can develop more out of any young player than their current trade value so they just don't like to move young players, and in this case all four players in the mix are young players still probably on the upside.

I think that’s pretty consistent with most good front offices.

unless you count what Maeda does as pitching

It is when you need a garbage time guy so you can save the rest of your pen for leverage situations. You’re already paying him, might as well keep him for that role.

but still leaves them with a roster problem. Going back to the suggestion that lunched this sub-topic, if they let Margot go it could only be because they were willing to have Torkelson or Torres play some outfield. I'm not seeing that,  but who knows what Hinch might throw out there?

I would trade him for a AA utility infielder. Or an A ball pitcher. Or...just release him.

OK...I agree with you. Keith needs a reset.

Problem is- we bring him in for garbage time and he can’t get through it and we end up using someone else anyway

Ok I’m warming up to the Keith needs Toledo time suggestion now

I suppose it can get to a point where the player is messing up and getting so tight about getting sent down that the best thing you can do is send him down, then he can stop worrying about the worst thing happening and get back to playing.
