| Duquette (L); Hanley (R) |
As Red Sox GM,
Dan Duquette was the guy who
originally signed
Hanley Ramirez many moons ago. As the current GM of the Orioles, Duquette
might still be enamoured enough with his signee to
consider trading for him and making him the full-time Baltimore DH. With
Chris Davis likely flying out of Camden Yards (maybe even to the Red Sox), the Birds need some replacement power. A 'de-gloved' Hanley—who concentrates on nothing but hitting—might be worth the gamble. Again,
Dave Dombrowski (or more precisely,
John Henry) would need to eat the majority of Hanely's remaining contract (about $88 million including a 2019 vesting option).
