Mayb this might give some insight on Gausman's tenure in Baltimore. According to Caleb Joseph: https://pressboxonline.com/2022/06/22/former-orioles-c-caleb-joseph-we-had-everything-wrong-with-kevin-gausman/

I could be wrong but I thought it's a best of 3 now.

I think it's a good thing. It puts our destiny in our hands considering 3 of those teams are currently in playoff position.

DHing a catcher is tricky if the starting catcher gets injured, you lose the DH. I'm not saying it will happen, but there's a slim chance they carry three catchers if Rutschman is going to get time at DH or he might actually get more time at first instead, to avoid that issue,

Apparently, the offense isn't travelling with the team either.

What's particularly embarrassing is the A's have 7 regulars on the Covid IL. The O's are facing a PCL team in this series. https://www.athleticsnation.com/2022/4/18/23031182/oakland-as-roster-covid-injured-list-nick-allen-debut

I was thinking 31st so I guess this is good news.

We might get the trash can that they were banging during the 2017 World Series.

I was a little nervous to click on this thread.

In his volvo.

Tyler White. Sorry. Lol. That's who I meant. Travis Shaw is on my fantasy baseball team.

Travis Shaw is their DH. That's why I suggested it.

Houston might have interest. Ellis also knows their system.

Check out Phil Bradley's career. Specifically '84 and '85. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bradlph01.shtml

Only the O's could possibly screw this up. EDIT: They didn't.

There is absolutely no one on the left side of the infield.

Hard to believe this team will lose 100 games with stats like this. My guess is the stats won't look like this at the end of the season.

It's quite amazing that they might end up with a better return for Archer than we got for Machado.

Tampa got Meadows and Baz in the deal. Even if they got lucky, they still made out like bandits. With that said, Glasnow was a mega prospect with only control issues. If he was considered a throw in, that's a steal. We ended up trading Gausman for lottery tickets anyway.

The Pirates were interested in Gausman and Archer according to rumors. If that was true, I would think that Glasnow could have at least been acquired because it seemed as if the Pirates were down on him at the time. Now, if the dealbreaker was taking on O'Day aswell, then the Orioles messed up in lowering Gausman's value. I still think we could have acquired Glasnow for Gausman straight up and maybe acquired another piece(s) in the process. Glasnow's issues were only in control. His stuff was still top notch at the time. His control issues have seemed to have vanished. To be able to acquire a pitcher with his ceiling and pedigree for Gausman is a deal you make. It wasn't as if Gausman was lighting the league on fire at the time.

We should have jumped in on Brian Goodwin when he was released by the Royals...Hindsight is 20/20 though.

I think that would be worth it because I don't envision him bringing back anything of value. The problem is, I don't see anyone taking on his salary right now.

He was DFA'd by Texas prior to the start of the season then traded to Seattle.

I think last seasons assets had more value than this season. Givens, might end up having the most value of the bunch if he can perform between now and the deadline. Teams often overpay for bullpen help at the deadline. As far as guys like Cashner and Cobb, that solely depends on what else is available.

We had an opportunity to get this guy but didn't. He throws 100 too. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sadzeco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-
