Option 2:

If Tingle were traded to a new team he would undoubtedly struggle mightily learning the new systems of that team. He seems to struggle no matter where he ends up. A very good minor league player but has proven to be a subpar player in the big leagues who can’t do much to help his team win. A team trying to acquire him would be foolish to do so because he would struggle so bad at learning their systems and how to implement them during the games. It may take him 5 + seasons to be able to make an impact and by that time he will be retired anyways. The best thing to do would be for him to stay put and hope to have some sort of an effect down the road for his current team. They may get one to two good seasons out of him by the time he learns the systems of his current team.
