This has been a relatively quiet offseason for the Orioles thus far. The club inked Welington Castillo to a one-year contract earlier this week, and that's about it aside from minor moves like waiver claims and Rule 5 Draft picks.

The O's have spent much of the offseason trying to retain AL home run king Mark Trumbo, reportedly offering a four-year contract at some point in the last few weeks. That offer is now off the table.

This doesn't mean the Orioles are moving on from Trumbo all together. Contract talks with Chris Davis followed a similar path last offseason. The O's made an offer, they pulled it when talks didn't progress, then suddenly it was back on the table and Davis signed.

The same thing could certianly happen with Trumbo, of course. The Davis situation is just a reminder talks are not completely dead even after the team pulls the offer. Baltimore has made it clear they want Trumbo back, and perhaps once he sees the market is flooded with similar players, he'll agree to their terms.

At the moment, Trumbo joins other big first base/DH bats like Edwin Encarnacion and Chris Carter in free agency. There's also Jose Bautista, Pedro Alvarez, Mike Napoli, Adam Lind, Brandon Moss, Mark Reynolds ... on and on it goes. There aren't enough first base/DH at-bats to go around for all these players.

Trumbo, 31 in January, hit .256/.316/.533 (120 OPS+) with a career high and league leading 47 home runs in 2016. Unfortunately, Trumbo's poor defense drags his overall value down, which is why he was only a 1.6 WAR player this past season despite all those homers.
