At a certain point it isn't a slump. Davis reached that point a couple years ago.

And he was offered one. From all I've seen the O's offered him three years. They hardly insulted him. I've not heard of him harboring any ill will the O's only offered three years. Have you?

Also they probably were not considering half a teams roster being infected at once.

Because they wanted to be able to give in depth instruction to their more viable prospects. If he plays this year or not you don't want AR to miss an entire season of instruction.

Why would the Marlins, in contention for the worst team in baseball, want Bleier? To me the need to fill out a roster is the only rational reason they would trade for him.

Because right now the Marlins can't field a team. The league needs them to be able to field a team. The O's aren't going anywhere this season, they can "lend out" a reliever. Not as if the O's are going to be battling the Marlins for a playoff berth.

I don't think so. I think this is pretty much just to help the Marlins have enough players to put together a team. It's a courtesy trade. It's why I think the O's just might get him back as the PTBNL.

I suggested the same in another thread. I think it's a good 25% chance.

You spelled picking first and second overall incorrectly.

You can only trade players on the 60 man.

They can play the Marlins.

Markakis isn't going to sign a 1/4M deal and change his mind about opting out only to get traded.

I agree, but fyi, they've played six games.

I'm calling it now, Bleier gets traded for himself.

This is about helping the Marlins field a team.

Because other folks know it is in reference to the Angel Hernandez lawsuit claiming racism. The same lawsuit that was referenced elsewhere in the thread. We have a thread about the lawsuit, you might want to take a look.

I don't think that's what driving.him.

Conserving pitches.

Twelve percent of the Orioles 2020 budget is allocated to towels.

We got them beat at least.

How many pitchers do the Marlins have out?

Think they are going to get into that many two strike counts?

They still have that Kale and Brussel sprout slaw? Man that's good.

So what did you have?

We don't know. Odds are good he was busy dropping the ball but maybe he's been with the teams and the union trying to get these players reigned in? I doubt it but maybe. I don't think him going out from day one and calling folks out would have been beneficial.
