Fry is better than Roenis Elias

Can someone at least make up a report about the Orioles engaged in talks with someone?...... Less than 4 hours to go and I haven't seen a single report or anything. I just want a little action

Rolle with a Home Run today. I'm really hoping we see him in GCL next year.

*Elias swoops in and trades Means for the best offer the Padres offered for Syndergaard*

Can teams trade players who were drafted in 2019 draft?

Seeing that the Orioles haven't traded with the Nationals......ever..... It does make you assume that there is a trade barrier in place there, despite claims by both sides that no such barrier is present. Which is a shame because we could package Givens and Fry and give them exactly what they are looking for while we could get one of their better prospects in return.

Instead of creating a new one for every player, thought this would help consolidate our DFA pick-up options Angels just DFA'd Adam Mcreery 26 years old Lefty bullpen arm with higher strikeout numbers but control issues. Lefty arms are tougher to come by, I think he's worth taking a flyer on, especially if we plan on trading givens, fry, etc.

I think Dillon must check off a lot of boxes when it comes to analytics. It's the only explanation I can come up with for him jumping to the MLB after at most half a season as a AA reliever. I know he's got some talent to him but I think Sig and the analytics department think he can be a real piece in the bullpen and is somewhat ready now.

straight up trade. Mancini for Forrest Whitley?

I really want one of Atlanta's 21 year old pitchers. I don't care what it takes. It's already looking like our pitching staff might be the thing that carry's us into our next playoff run. If we could add another 21 year old stud pitcher to go along with Gray Rod and DHall with the Bowie Boys filling in and the potential of a starter coming from next draft 1st round. We'd really be rolling.

I'm honestly very surprised we haven't heard more rumors of severino being dealt. There has to be a team out there (I'm too lazy to look) that is making a push for the playoffs, has a weak link at catcher, and would prefer something more than a rental. I understand he's not dominating right now but he's been kinda hot recently and has some defensive value too.

I think you're already seeing this with the "reports" that orioles are likely to hold onto Mancini

Another question, do you think Elias would trade mancini and givens for just one top prospect who is in AA or AAA? Kinda feels like he is targeting a strength in numbers approach. Would he be more inclined to go after three low-A lottery tickets or one AA/AAA top prospect?

I don't quite understand pulling tate up in a series where you need fresh arms and not pitching him at all.

I came here to highlight this guy, yes he's only playing first, but he is making consistent contact. He will need to jump on the HR train if he want's to amount to anything but I won't be suprised to se him get a shot with GCL to see what he can do.

I think we will pick up someone who is DFA'd for this reason but I don't thinks it's Tony. I think we'll jump on someone who is 25 or younger.

I think some of us were a little surprised when Elias drafted so many catchers in the 2019 draft. I'm not sure if it was a glaring weakness he identified in the minor league system, if there is a strategy of getting good quality catchers throughout your system to help your pitchers develop, or if it was just a great catcher position draft? But regardless, we now have some catchers who are performing better than expected: Christopher Burgess 22, .368/.538/.579 Harris Yett 23, .326/.375/.465 Jordan Cannon 22, .267/.343/.467 add these guys in with AR and Maverick and Catcher kinda looks like a strength through our minor league system

Adley goes 0-3 with walk and the guy who came in for him hit a two run dinger....

I'd take Josiah Gray in a heart beat. He'd slot right in ETA after the group of BOWIE guys but before GRAYROD and DHALL

He's scheduled to pitch tonight. You could scratch him tonight and try to get him out to the west coast to go tomorrow possibly but I don't think it works out the best.

Could you package givens with severino to the dodgers for a legit prospect or two? Dodgers have some legit prospects

uhhhh do we have another Yefry than the one we traded to pittsburgh?

Cristian with another two innings of scoreless relief last night. 2 BB's and 2 K's I'm hoping he gets the bump to Norfolk here soon, get some experience with the major baseball and an ever better opportunity to evaluate him for the 40 man protection.

He's never met an Oriole's prospect he didn't hate

Knight is getting the start today at noon against one of my favorite minor league affiliates, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans
