    Who has more trade value, Urias or Mateo?

    If Mateo is kept around and Gunnar is the everyday short stop I would be curious to see how Mateo would do in the OF.  He could be the ultimate late inning pinch runner / defensive sub if he could play premium defense up the middle IF and utilize his speed in the OF.

    The other side to this is I wonder if asking a guy who had arguably a Gold Glove season at SS to move positions or become a utility player doesn't make him try and request a trade.

    I'd love to see Mateo's arm and range in CF if we move Mullins for pitching. 

    Orioles Interested in deGrom

    He's hardly ever healthy.  

    If they want him, fine.  Sign him, and don't let him start until July.  Maybe he can make it through the 2nd half of the season intact and be a big boost for a playoff run.  But there's no chance that he makes it through a complete season.

    I'm half kidding.  But I'm really not interested in him.

    I'm with ya. I don't believe he'd be worth the investment. 

    Should/Will the O’s Exercise the Jordan Lyles Option?

    I’m very bewildered by anyone who thinks they should. 

    The only argument I can think of that is even remotely reasonable is that you don’t think they will find anyone better, whether it’s trade or FA signing.

    But if you believe that, it means you don’t think Elias is very good at his job.

    That's the only reason I can think of, too. But I think you gotta move on. He is what he is, and he served his purpose for a team that wasn't supposed to compete. Lyles should not be a starter on a playoff-caliber squad. Let Boston him. 

    Some thoughts about Cionel Perez

    Having depth is never a bad idea, but I don't subscribe to the idea that Perez is due for a decline. I think you could outsmart yourself and trade someone like Perez when you can sell high and then he turns out to be just as good next year and the guy you replace him with isn't nearly as good.

    But what if I could offer you cash considerations? 

    Correa opts out…should the Os pursue him?

    I wouldn’t go after him at all.  I wanted him last year but things have changed since then.

    Gunnar looks like he can be a good SS.  Ortiz has Re-established himself.  You drafted Holliday because he’s a SS.

    Just don’t see the logic behind doing it…not anymore.

    This is exactly where I'm at. I just don't see the need after adding Gunnar. Spend the money on pitching instead.

    Does Adley Need Anymore Breaks?

    I was not able to watch the game today. Did listen to radio from about the bottom of 4th on. 
     

    They talked on radio about Chirinos. Apparently he would like to play another year but is aware it could be his last year. I wonder if maybe he starts the last game and Adley comes in. I hope Adley plays Wednesday, I’m going to that game.  

    Do you mean retiring or just last with the Orioles? If he's retiring, I wouldn't be opposed to letting him play that whole game and DH Adley.

    Sucks we couldn't find a way to get in, but still a fun, surprising season nonetheless. Looking forward to seeing more young guys join the big league squad next year and, hopefully, a playoff berth.
