I think I would have a heart attack if the Orioles actually traded for a pitcher of Garza's caliber in-season. I honestly cannot remember that ever happening in the last 30 years.

That's probably because the O's have only been in serious contention a hand full of times in 30 years.

The biggest O's deadline trade I can find in that time frame in not a pitcher:

June 27, 1997: Geronimo Berroa traded by the Oakland Athletics to the Baltimore Orioles for a player to be named later and Jimmy Haynes. The Baltimore Orioles sent Mark Seaver (minors) (September 2, 1997) to the Oakland Athletics to complete the trade.

Yes, yes, please!! I've always wanted to take on a ton of salary for a 37-year-old with Chris Davis' plate discipline who's owed $45M!

LOL you do know the cubs are gonna eat about 90% of that

You keep saying it.

It is one thing for the Cubs to say that they will do it, it might be another situation when ownership is faced with eating 40 million for some kid in A ball. I think the Cubs will eat a large portion of his salary (If they can find a team dumb enough to take him) but I don't think it will be 90%, I would guess closer to 60-75%.

Hating on Alfonso Soriano is the baseball hipster thing to do these days but he would be our second best OF currently.

Oh, and we'd get Garza in a deal if we took his armageddon-inducing salary on, and the Cubs would eat at least SOME of the dollars owed.

Or, we can keep losing, that's just as fun.

Do you, right now, think that Soriano and Garza would be difference makers that could get this team to the playoffs?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
