At this point I agree that keeping Gennett is the better move. Especially after seeing the lackluster haul Baltimore got for Machado. I know that Gennett is under control for 1 more year, but he also isn't as 'renowned' as Machado so I doubt he would get much more. Baltimore got the number 84 prospect in the minors and 4 low end prospects.
I wouldn't trade Gennett for anything less than a top 25 prospect that is at most 1 year away from the majors. And based on the market, that seems to be an unreasonable ask at this point, so I just say let it burn.
I still think we should try to trade Iglesias. If renting Aroldis Chapman was worth a top 5 prospect (Gleybor Torres), then 2.5 years of Iglesias should be worth AT LEAST that much. Imagine if we could pry Francisco Mejia from the Indians or something similar. That's basically the only kind of trade I would consider.
