Roden is part of the excess of outfielders that they have. There are 9 outfielders on the 40 man roster and that doesn't include Keaschall, Jenkins or Rosario. They need to clear some space to have enough playing time for everyone. And Roden has not shown that he should be given priority, I am not in favor of giving him another 200 AB's to figure it out at the expense of Keaschall or Jenkins. It was a bad trade, time to admit it and move on.
