Ya I just can't see why on earth they are holding on to him. He's 30 years old and just look around at this market right now. There is no one even close to Merrifield on the market and even the guys that are on the market they are all rentals. Moving forward there are guys that are free agents that teams could reasonably say if I cant get Merrifield for x amount then I'll just give this guy some cash and move on or more guys that are starting to enter into their final years on their contracts that would overlap with a Merrifield and thats all assuming he continues to be a 5+ WAR player.
