Tre White is literally where this whole thing started. Yes you could argue that the Poyer/Hyde signings preceded 27 but he was the first pick with McDermott here and THE example of what McD and Beane want from a player. Obviously Allen is the most important player but Tre is the cornerstone both from his play and from his culture building positivity. Without him, a lot of what has happened after 2017 never would have happened. Other than Allen he is the last player I would trade.
I would not be shocked to hear that he personally eschewed being voted captain for the last few years because EVERYTHING about the guy screams unique and leader. You don’t part with that. Ever. In any business. Ever. Not for Davis. Not for Oliver. Not for anyone. And I love Davis and Oliver.
Never.
Just in case I was equivocating a bit. N E V E R.
