Encarnacion has some pretty good #'s. 20 year old in High A. SO rate is insanely high though.
Cumberland is a 23 year old catcher with so-so #'s who was just promoted from AA (old for level).
Phillips is a dominant reliever.
SP Zimmerman has some good #'s but has done most of his damage this year at High A and he's 23.
This does NOT appear to be a great return for Gausman. I see four secondary pieces. No prospect on the level of a Yusniel Diaz.
Sounds like the $2.5MM in international $$ will go toward that high level prospect.

Maybe Travis Shaw in Schoop deal.
That doesn't make the 2021 Orioles better.

Oh my god, our team is going to be so bad next year. Davis, Trumbo, and a bunch of C prospects while the good prospects are developing.
Can't really be much worse than they've been in 2018.

Maybe it's just because the O's are insanely active today, but this seems like a particularly crazy deadline 12th hour.
The amount of trades is up significantly across the league this deadline.

Scorch the earth.
Dan won't settle for the 1st pick in the 2019 draft. He has his eyes on the 1st pick in the 2020 draft too.

They All Break. Every Pitch. Every start.
I guess I'm just not used to this pace from the O's front office. This is like going from a mall parking lot to the autobahn.

I thought Gausman would go in offseason. They did not have to do this. Should and better be a good haul.
Yeah, I'm shocked they're making a deal now and not waiting for the offseason.

Schoop is in Orioles lineup.
Not sure what Encina is looking at. Yankees still don't have a lineup from the O's.

I am so incredibly interested in the return...
My question: will the top of the package be better than what the O's got for Manny?
-
Too bad the Rangers have to leave town. O's could get back in this if they had a few more games against them.

Heart will get you some come-from-behind wins. Heart plus a really god bullpen should get you a lot of them.
Add a Dylan Bundy being anywhere close to what he showed on Wednesday and you have a title contender.
-
Buck played that game like he had one hand tied behind his back. Did he realize he had more than one lefty middle reliever in the pen? Why did he give away one of his last six outs when he had good PH options on the bench?
-
We were/are basically tied with Toronto at the trade deadline.
They add: Tulo, Price, Revere, and Lowe
We add: Parra
and we are somehow more likely to compete for the last WC spot?
In a vacuum this is a bad trade, placed in context with what the other contenders added this is a horrible trade with zero upside.
The Blue Jays have +56 run differential on the O's. One of those teams was already better than the other.
-
As I've made clear, I hate this trade. Hopefully he just goes nuts, though, gets us to the playoffs and we can hit him with a QO.
No QO for in-season acquisitions.
-
I'd rather watch Gausman, Ubaldo, Gonzo, Tillman, and a sweet free agent starter that we sign in the offseason. We'll see about Davies.
$$$ will be spent on position players. Not SP.

I mentioned his higher FB% and lower GB% earlier.
-
This doesn't make much sense to me. If they sign him before he hits free agency, it's a direct result of the trade. If would have been impossible without the trade.
You don't think agents know what other teams are interested during the negotiating window?
-
This is a Duquette kind of trade. A moderately talented, moderately-projected prospect for a pretty good short-term guy. Not a fan of rentals. There is risk here. Parra is not going to guarantee a playoff spot in any way. But in the end it's probably a trade of a couple wins for a guy who's not going to be an impact talent in the majors. Probably. Interested if they want to try to resign Parra, but that really has no impact on the trade.
This is how I see it as well. I just don't see the O's having a realistic shot at the post-season, so that makes the move a negative for me.
-
Somewhat true, but in theory the 7th, 8th, 9th batters won't be on as much as the 9th-2nd batters in general.
This isn't the National League. I'd rather have Manny get the extra ABs over the course of the year.
EDIT: I should clarify that. I'd rather have Manny get the extra ABs over the course of the year if there isn't a better option in the lead-off spot. He was the best option to lead-off the first 100 games of this season, but Parra is a better option now.
-
Manny has 21 homeruns and 17 solo shots. That's a waste.
But how many of those were actually leading off a game? That's the only one you can control.
-
So then you expect that Pythag to normalize within 60 games?
No, but if I'm projecting the next 60 games, performance during the first 100 + trade additions plays a significant role. The Jays are better than the O's, Twins, Rays, and White Sox.
-
Right and the Jays traded for Price and Tulo this year and didn't make the playoffs.
Eh, but they will. That's one of the best teams in baseball. -10 against their expected Pythag, -7 against their expected BaseRuns.
-
He already fills the lead off position that was claimed by absolutely no one so far.
I thought that kid from Miami did pretty well hitting lead off.
-
Neither the Giants nor the Royals were world beaters in the regular season last year. Nor the Cardinals before that. All wild card winners and World Series teams. Trust in the playoff power of small sample size.
And the A's traded for Jon Lester and didn't make it past Day 1.
Playoffs expand to 16 this year after all

Best chance the O’s will have at the playoffs for the next few years.
