Will Mark Trumbo test free agency?
The Baltimore Orioles are forced to make a huge decision this off-season. Will they re-sign slugging outfielder Mark Trumbo to a long term contract? Trumbo hit .256 with a league leading 47 homeruns with 108 RBI in 159 games for the Orioles. Trumbo is a two-time All-Star and is set to be a free agent and would be crazy not to test the free agent market after the year he just had.
The Baltimore Orioles already spent a huge amount of money to re-sign Chris Davis. Can the Orioles budget take on another big long term contract? I don't see the Orioles and Trumbo coming to an agreement before free agency begins and Trumbo is more than likely going to test the market regardless of the offer.
After hitting a league leading 47 homers you're going to get some offers from other teams. Trumbo is going to receive some big time offers from teams because not everyday do you find a guy that can hit almost 50 homeruns in a season and stay healthy. The Orioles still have a shot at keeping Trumbo, but it will have to be in free agency.
