After selling almost every asset they had last year, the Baltimore Orioles will head into 2019 with just two players on expiring contracts: first baseman/designated hitter Mark Trumbo and RHP Andrew Cashner. It seems clear that Elias will do everything in his power to flip both of them for whatever assets he can get in return, but will he be able to find trade partners for them, specifically Trumbo?
Coming off a season in which he struggled to stay on the field, Trumbo will be looking to prove that he’s still an effective hitter and can contribute on a good roster.
