It's not keep giving him a chance vs give up on him.
You can trade a player while still thinking they are a good player, just not one that fits or has been overstepped by other prospects. If you can flip him for a prospect of need (ie a dman) that would be ideal for the team. It's not a slap to Baertschi to consider him as an asset to be used to bring back other useful players.
