  1. Guy has thrown 31 innings the last two seasons and would be getting extended starting with his age 32 season. Sorry, pass.
  2. While Suarez has never replicated quite what he did in Cincy, he's been a big part of the M's the last two years. 150 games and 162 games played, respectively. It's a safe bet they've already got a replacement in mind, be it in FA or via trade.
  3. Neither of these players has established themselves as a No. 1 at this point in time. Both will very much be rotation pieces in 2024 and beyond, but neither has shown anything yet that suggests the organization should stand pat on starting pitching.
  4. There were 10 guys in the league that posted a .900 OPS or better in 2023. Only four of them hit 40 homers. One of those guys was Marcell Ozuna, who basically rose from the grave after looking pretty much done. The other three were Ohtani, Matt Olson and Ronald Acuna. So if you’re saying it’s sign Ohtani or the O’s are doomed, we’re in tough shape. Further, the Braves made it just as far as the O’s despite having three of the four guys that meet your standards.
  5. If you win in the playoffs are get the team championship trophy, that’s what they’re for. These individual awards are supposed to be decided by the incredibly long campaign that leads to October.
  6. Remember that these are voted upon before the playoffs, so as not to over-credit anyone for getting hot in the tournament. Looking at the regular season, Bochy and the Texas FO were not nearly as deserving as Hyde and Elias. Jung... well, we'll never know if he'd have hung on to his lead for ROY.
  7. Even the Rangers have designated Garcia for assignment before. He just went through waivers and came back. Some guys are true surprises.
  8. The Padres are going to reload and try again in 2024. What good would trading Soto do them?
  9. Adley just isn't on par with the dudes at OOO's gym, bro.
  10. He’s here to eat innings because they’re torched. Who else do you want to pitch?
  11. Love a great reactionary thread! Chill out. Jeez. The bullpen is toast. If you want to be angry at someone, blame the starters. They have put the pen in a terrible spot night after night of late.
  12. I view it as six of one, half-dozen of the other. Every team in the field could win a short series - it's not like someone out there's a dud. Gun to my head (and assuming O's do in fact win the East and the No. 1 seed), I'd say I'd root for Toronto to hang on to the 5 seed and hopefully upset Tampa. But I'm not writing the Jays off as an easy W, either. Still a good team.
