Saunders is the last bat I'd trade next offseason without significant other additions to the outfield. Along with Morse and Morales, Guti might be gone next year too. There's that option so he could be retained, but its costly if we're still wondering about his health or he has a serious down year. I'm still surprised there's not been a Minorleague deal for an OF to stash an emergency CF at Tacoma for this year.
It seemed earlier in the offseason that they could match up with most teams in trade, but there is just so much more interest in proven regulars than I'm used to seeing. Next year had better look a lot better in that regard and I'm hopeful and fairly confident that it will. More so with young players gaining value than in teams valuing prospects more. I think prospect valuation may remain low for a couple years.
