We know he’s not worth a 7 year deal and give. This past offseason we know a team is unlikely to give him a contract for that long. But a four year offer is definitely in the cards from someone. So do you do four years at $22M or do you trade him. Personally I really don’t know what to do with him.

It seems like one of those situations where your own advanced scouting team should have a big say. Is there something other pitchers have figured out that Vlad can't overcome or, like you said, is it outside stuff and there's reason to believe the .300/.400/.600 guy is going to be back.
