It is only December 11th and already we have given up on the 2017 season, conceded losing Josh Donaldson via free agency and decided that although spring training does not begin until Feb 16, it is apparent that both Edwin and Jose will be without jobs or playing on team friendly one year deals.  Seriously?  It is way too early to conclude any of this.  

I agree, Jose will struggle to find a deal but I would be shocked if he cannot find a one year deal that is at least equal to the qualifying offer.  And, what Dan Duquette did makes the Orioles organization look petty and small.  Who would want to play for this guy?  

Hard to imagine that Edwin does not get a multi-year deal of at least 20 Million per season.  Edwin's biggest problem is that no one sees him as an everyday first baseman so his market is limited to the AL and everyone other than NY & Boston is looking at what NY/Boston have done so far and thinking maybe this is not the time to spend big.
