I too appreciate the argument as well but if this team is in complete rebuild, I would let Contreras go, though I am intrigued with your suggestion to move Walker to third-his historic position.
If they are going to try and rebuild then I would keep Contreras.
Let’s see which direction they go.
Carlin Dead but appalled that they raised season ticket prices
It’s a reasonable argument but I disagree with it. This team is a non-contender, so as a look to the future, I’d rather give one of our many awful defensive players, like Burleson or Walker, the chance to grow into the 1B position. Trade Contreras if we can’t find a spot for him.
I see your view and find it reasonable as well. This team just needs some assured offense. Winn could backtrack, others are unknown. WC at $18.5 million is a lock for a 5.0 WAR so I like keeping him.

I like keeping Contreras, esp with his bat on the upswing and his defense becoming more versatile.
