. I still think they trade Russell before they trade Baez. I'd guess Russell has more trade value than Baez, so it's not impossible. I don't think they will because of perceived 'character' but baseball wise, it could end up being the right move. I don't think Russell will be able to maintain enough arm strength to stay at SS forever despite his overall better fielding consistency than Baez there. perceived 'character'? he fucks everyone he sees
