A solution to the Mancini/Davis/Trumbo logjam

The Orioles have several roster problems to fix in 2019 and beyond. One is how to reconcile the Trey Mancini, Chris Davis, and Mark Trumbo logjam. First base is the only defensive position that should be played by each of those three players. Unfortunately, Camden Yards and other MLB stadiums have only one first base.

Of those players, Trey Mancini is of most value to the Orioles. At 26 years old and with only two full seasons under his belt (and one season removed from a Rookie of the Year-caliber campaign), he has a chance to be a major piece of the next competitive Orioles club.
