After 2017 we're looking at a 2-3 year rebuild unless we restock in some capacity.

All minor league players though. If next season didn't project to be a great opportunity then of course trading Davis is a great idea. We should gamble all we want with money and minor leaguers, but not important pieces to the major league roster as long as next season is still brimming with optimism. I am happy to endure a few years of rebuilding if it means another deep playoff run, though I don't think trading Davis is necessary to prevent rebuilding seasons. I can't remember the last time we lost anything significant off the major league roster that we had control of moving forward and I doubt it starts this season.
