Hardy is one of the best offensive Shortstops (just winning the Silver Slugger for the AL)  in the game - and is a Gold Glove recipient from 2012 and 2013.  The O's have some decisions to make past next year on who to keep.  The Orioles did not have many problems scoring this past campaign.  With Machado being able to slide back to his natural position at SS, and a couple of other options for 3B, the team could stand to receive a nice Starting Pitcher in Hardy.  A team like the Cardinals would be perfectly suited for such a notion.
