Mateo isn’t some savior. Obviously. But we see what speed and the threat of SB does. Maybe we don’t need to pray for Mayo, and just play Mateo more over Urias. Defensively Mateo 2B + Westburg 3B > Urias 3B + Westburg 2B. Mateo’s range.
Back to back starts for Burnes where we’ve gotten shut out. Coincidence? Probably, or is our team letting up a bit because we got our horse going? Gotta change this for playoff time.
Yes that indeed would have been a disastrous trade. IMO you never want to put yourself in a position to give up young/budding franchise/potential superstar players. IMO those are the players you retain and build around.
But you are right in that even if the O’s make that trade, we would still be a good team. However, the question/issue is no longer about how we can be a good team. We have so much talent/depth throughout the org that we are going to be good no matter what.
The question/issue for the Orioles is how do we become a championship type team?
