Just to make room for Dunn? Or just because?
To me, 24-year-olds who are consistent .300 hitters capable of 60-70 XBHs yearly are the types you shoud be locking up and waiting for them to progress into their prime, not trade low on.
I don't care how many HR Butler hits. If he hits .320 yearly with a total of 60-65 XBH, I'm happy (whether that split is 15 HR and 50 2Bs or 40 HR and 20 2Bs).
Trading Butler this right now/this offseason is merely going to be selling low on one of the best 24-year-old hitters in baseball.
