If aybar continues to be terrible till the deadline, do we dump him for anything or roll the dice that he can finish strong and trade him in the offseason or beginning of next season?
 
Aybar has played better as of late. He can have some trade value if we eat the remainder of his contract. The Royals make some sense.
 
Not sure how I feel about Aybar. We are not getting anything of value for him.. so I wonder if it is better just to let him play out the remainder of his contract. Honestly..I don't really care. As long as we don't get any thoughts of bringing him back next year, it is whatever for me..

Ahh, over the last 6 games, he is 1 for 19, with 8 strikeouts and no walks, not to mention his putrid average of .212, OPS of .532 with the glowing WAR of -1.1 for the year. We could eat all his remaining $2.7MM of his contract and still be lucky to get a bag of worn out balls.

Aybar has history of success.. So any rebound is more value than a prospect getting hot. Now I agree, there is not much value with Aybar and if we have to eat his salary to get a lottery ticket, then it might just be better to keep him and let him play it out in ATL.

Why? Win totals don't mean anything this year and he's a FA.

for what? he doesn't hold a ton of value. I would just hang on to him and if he flames out.. who cares.

It would depend on what's being offered. Maybe he's packaged with another player. Part of the strategy of acquiring assets is to flip them. He's not exactly a building block.

I tend to agree. I know I have the reputation for wanting to trade everybody. But, that's not true. I want to maximize the value of everyone with an eye on realistically expecting competing in 2018 and beyond.

I probably would take a low level prospect for Harrell as long as that prospect was reasonably well regarded. Certainly wouldn't expect a top 100 type guy. But, a Rookie League guy who was maybe a top 15 young International signing from 2015 would do, a guy a long, long way away with a lot of development left but some undeniable talent.

Outside of that, I would just as soon hang on to him and see if he can continue to increase his value...

he would probably help us with less win totals... why eat and dump his salary.. it is not like we don't already know who is taking over for him, so we don't have to audition his position.

that is my thought.. I would want a teams top 25 prospect personally.. that would never happen, so roll the dice with him and see what you have. he could be someone you rely on next year as depth, or inning eater depending on how you go next year. He could build more value and be traded next year for something more.. he could completely bust and you get nothing, but then who really thought they were getting anything for him anyway.
