Do the Pirates know something? It would be dumb to trade him after his worst season unless you get a kings ransom.

103 OPS+ Yeesh.

Or the decline is real, and he has an even worse season next year, and they get nothing for him. They arent going to resign him, and they have Meadows waiting to take his spot. You trade him now while you can still get a descent haul.

Only 2 years left on his deal is the reason. Even if he hits next year his value wouldn't go up much because only one year left on his contract. If he doesn't hit next year he has absolutely no value and get nothing for him. I think his career is gonna go the way Matt Kemp has went. A terrible defender but can still hit enough to hang around in the MLB.

He was really unlucky last year. Only a .297 BABIP.

Last time it was that low he bounced back the next year with a .375 BABIP and had a slash line of .327/.400/.553.

His decreased walk rates and increased K rates are worrying.
