I have thought about this more and I think the upcoming lock out just plays a major role here. There is a strong chance you are just adding a year to Marte's contract when he is already 32.

It's cheap for the production, which is why you can trade for it, but he isn't playing 2b in 4 years

Marte will more and more be a DH

Gunna be hard to get much for him when we're being so public about it.

Is the plan to move Lawlar to 2nd?

They’ve been working Lawler out in centerfield.

I think some of it will depend on whether they are able to sign a third basemen. Blaze has earned at least a shot at full-time playing time whether that’s left field third base or second.

I believe Blaze is locked in at 3rd right now.
