The only way this affects the Orioles is that it hurts the Nationals. ;) That rumors that had us in on him? It was never the case .

I think we were in on him, but I don't think he had any interest in coming here. After all, why would you agree to leave the Cubs to come to the AL East and pitch in OPACY the last two months before signing your last sizable contract? Not a very wise business decision. It's smart of him to stay in the NL.

One less team in on Grienke. That is the guy who I am curious to see what it costs, him turning down 20m+ from the Brewers seems like he is saying he is a free agent no matter what at the end of the season.

This is important for the Orioles because it starts to shape the market which is new due to the lack of draft pick compensation.

yes Good point. I just never thought we were in on him. Probably wrong though. I figured that the rumors was just a made up onw.

Because he wants to win the World Series of course.

I just assume that DD has at least called every GM and at least mentioned every prospect or trade out there. More than AM ever did! I think DD is multi-tasking and checking out EVERY potential trade.

If this trade does go down, it's a pretty decent return for a guy who's probably gonna turn right back around and resign with them as a free agent in the off season.

Really good return-- I was really impressed with Delgado when he faced us and I'm surprised the Braves are giving up on him especially when he's not having that bad of a year. Depending on who the other prospect is it's a really good deal/absolute steal for the Cubs. If I were a Braves fan I'd be pissed, especially after what happened in their last big deadline deal (Teixeira).

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      That is exactly my roster math as well. And that breaks down to just one vacant bullpen slot (with two starters).  I'm not sure we even have room for a high leverage reliever. You have seven guys on your list and they are all out of options or high leverage guys that shouldn't be optioned. We should have one spot for optionable guys and ideally another for waiver claims. The only way Suarez makes sense if he is super cheap so we can DFA without a second thought. But he will cost more this year.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles0615 · Posted

      Wah! But muh defense.    He still put up 7.9 bWAR this year. I would gladly pay 40 million a year to have what Ohtani did this year without the promise of picthing again

      I think at $5 million he's an insurance policy that can go to the pen if need be. I'd rather not go into spring training with him penciled into the rotation. But I also don't want Trevor Rogers penciled in either.  He also could be a bridge until Bradish is ready.

      So to all of you saying you would bring him back…. GRod, Eflin, Kremer, Felix, DC, Webb, Soto, Dominguez, Akin and Cano That leaves room for 3 more pitchers and this doesn’t include McDermott, Rogers or Povich. 3 spots left, 1 high end reliever and 2 starters. Which of those 3 spots do you want him at or, who do you take off the above list and keep Suarez over?

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.
