Trumbo finished 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI during Monday's 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo drove in his first run of the season when he laced a double to right field in the third inning and signaled the fireworks when he lined a walkoff home run to left off of Jason Grilli in the bottom of the 11th. The slugger enjoyed a terrific 2016 campaign with the Orioles, leading the majors in home runs, and his power stroke seems to be right where he left off, if Monday's results are any indication.

Trumbo admitted to feeling frustrated with his spring performance, but he's confident that a minor adjustment will get him "rolling," Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo, who signed a three-year deal this offseason to remain in Baltimore, is hitting a measly .162 (6-for-37) with just one extra-base hit (a double back on March 5). "The results haven't been there," Trumbo said. "I've been through things like this more times than I can count in my career, and it's something that will improve." Expecting the slugger to repeat last season's performance -- one in which he led MLB with 47 homers -- is a bit bullish, but owners shouldn't worry about a savvy veteran like Trumbo based on unimpressive spring stats.

Trumbo is hitless in eight at-bats this spring and has two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Last season's home run champion has appeared in three Grapefruit League games and has reached base just once (via walk). It's awfully early in spring to be concerned, but with the consensus projecting a regression from Trumbo in 2017, it sure would be encouraging for owners to see the slugger round into shape sooner rather than later.

Trumbo will see the bulk of his at-bats at designated hitter in 2017, Buster Onley reports.

EDGE Analysis

With newly-acquired Seth Smith to man right field routinely, Trumbo will have to change his mindset heading into 2017. Last season, nearly 60 percent of the home run champ's at-bats came while he was penciled in on defense, and that number will be even larger in his upcoming campaign. Some would argue that playing the field distracts hitters from thinking too much about their next at-bat, while others would suggest taking hacks in the tunnel while your team is on defense is more beneficial. The former seems to hold more truth for Trumbo, who's three-year splits show a noticeable decline in production when he's not playing the field. Smith has struggled throughout his career against lefties, so Trumbo may wind up in the outfield more than the team's preseason plans suggest. He's also slated to see a slight uptick in time at first base.

Trumbo is expected to play more first base in 2017 in an effort to keep Chris Davis fresh, the Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo played just six games at first in 2016, but played over 100 games at the position for the Angels in 2011 and 2013. The 31-year-old enjoyed the best offensive season of his career in 2016, slashing .256/.316/.533 while adding 47 home runs and 108 RBI. While he may play more first base in 2017, he's expected to spend most of 2017 as the Orioles' primary DH.

Trumbo agreed to a three-year deal, pending a physical, with the Orioles on Thursday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Bob Nightengale of the USA Today, the deal is expected to be worth $35-40 million. Trumbo had one of the best showings of his career in 2016 as he knocked 47 home runs and recorded 108 RBI. Although the deal is contingent upon Trumbo passing a physical, the slugger will look to bring his powerful bat back to the Baltimore lineup and split time between right field and the DH spot in 2017.

Trumbo rejected the Orioles one-year, $17.2 million qualifying offer Monday, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given the market for his services, it isn't surprising that the 30-year-old slugger turned down Baltimore's proposition. Trumbo will likely command a pretty penny after bashing 47 home runs last season, although some teams may be hesitant to sign him given the fact that he'll also cost a draft pick.

Trumbo received a qualifying offer from the Orioles on Monday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a no-brainer for Baltimore given Trumbo's monster 47-home run season. That being said, odds are the 30-year-old will decline the offer and try to get a bigger deal in free agency, but this move could deter some suitors now that they will have to sacrifice a draft pick to sign him.

Trumbo went 4-for-4 with a double and run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger's bat has caught fire just in time for the playoff run, with Saturday's effort representing his first four-hit day since Opening Day. Trumbo has also hit safely in five straight and seven of nine, with five multihit efforts over the latter span. His league-leading 47 homers have the Orioles on the verge of a wild-card spot, and his 108 RBI are a career high as well.

Trumbo went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 8-1 victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The slugging outfielder blasted his majors-leading 47th round-tripper in the fifth, the second blast off Michael Pineda in the frame. Trumbo has now hit safely in six of his last seven games, with four multi-hit efforts, four homers and six RBI over that span.
