I'm thinking that horrible stretch he had in mid-late May and June really killed any value he had. By the time he started turning it around again in July, it wasn't going to matter because teams were going to lowball us. If he can not have any major hiccups in these final two months, we might be able to get something decent for him at the Winter Meetings. Teams probably see him as a 7th or 8th inning guy but not as a closer, which probably hurts his value a little bit as well. Otherwise, I think we'll have to wait until next year like you said before exploring trading him again.
Im saying don't trade him at all.....Hyde should put him in where he is most comfortable (middle relief) and develop a new closer. Orioles cant wait 5 years for new talent to develop when its already here
