Baltimore Orioles: A Look at What Orioles Have The Most Trade Value With Help from TierMaker

Whether it’s a bad contract or a lack of trade value the Orioles are stuck with these four players.

Other Teams Would Not Take: Alex Cobb, Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo & Pedro Severino

Alex Cobb once helped anchor a Tampa Bay Rays pitching staff to a pair of postseason appearances. Thus, despite his history of being injury prone the O’s inked Cobb to a four-year 57 million dollar contract. The deal has backfired however as Cobb has not pitched well in an Orioles uniform and is currently injured. Since his contract is so large, Cobb will likely be stuck in Baltimore.

Both Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo deserve respect from Orioles fans. Both produced all-star seasons and helped guide the Orioles to the postseason. However, now they’re shells of their former selves, and with large contracts, they will have to play out the end of their careers with a rebuilding Baltimore club.

Pedro Severino doesn’t have a large contract, but the Orioles don’t have any other serviceable starting catchers to get them through 2019. Thus, they must keep him, and even if they wanted to move him, it’s hard to think any teams would be interested in the sub-par 25-year-old.
