Wanted, in past tense? Have their demands come down?

I'd hate to lose Jake. He and Britton are the two I really still see star potential in. But depending on who those prospects were, I might be talked into that deal.

I like having Arrieta around but I'd jump all over this deal depending on the prospects. The past tense here is killing me.

Depending on the two prospects, that might be reasonable considering 3B market scarcity.

Agree - many folks on here say that Jake will end up in the pen. If so, he needs to be moved before that happens IMO.

As for Headley 4 Arrieta and 2 others. Dont know the others, but I believe one is a high ceiling player at Delmarva. Told it was way 2 much

Probably Delmonico. If the other wasn't Schoop, I might make that trade.

    • The at-bat by Cowser may have been the worst at bat I've ever seen given the moment. He made his mind up he was swinging before the pitcher even released the ball. Struck out swinging on a pitch that hit him with the bases loaded and broke his hand all on the same play.
    • I'm totally comfortable calling a team that has won 192 regular season wins and has an 0-5 playoff record an epic failure. The team had a superior record to the Rangers last year. They just got swept at home to a team that was 4-9 down the stretch. Do you believe the those two teams had a better team? I don't. If that isn't an epic failure, what is it to you?
    • Just because the players like him and each other doesn’t necessarily mean the culture is good though. They definitely loved each other in that clubhouse, but does a very talented team with a strong culture go winless in their 5 most important games over the last 2 seasons? Or completely unravel in seemingly every pressure situation? I would argue no. After calming down a bit from the disappointment of the last 3 months, I feel pretty indifferent towards Hyde. If he’s gone, I think it’s because the team just mentally broke at some point and never recovered, and bringing in someone new would likely be a kick in the ass that their play got their well liked manager fired. If he’s back, I don’t have any concerns with him. 
    • This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Classic “CYA” by these clowns. They’ll announce Adley was injured and crow on and on about how we’re getting guys back next year and they’ll look to “enhance” the roster. YAWN.
    • 8M is a bit expensive for that HR rate.  Interested to see what they do there, unless folks think it is obvious he will not be retained.
    • They need 1 top end RP, one top end SP, a depth SP option, and a righty that can mash lefties.  Should be doable but pitching will be expensive.  Would also be nice to see extensions for some of the core and investment in upgrades to the stadium.  From an organizational standpoint, really need to start seeing some benefits at the MLB level from the international player development side of things.
    • This really sums it up. I thought Waltimore was a good idea, but then they constructed the lineup with a bunch of LHH that can't hit lefties well enough to take advantage of RF. And the RHH bats were neutralized because they are largely pull guys that don't have a consistent ability to slap oppo and they didn't have consistent enough super strength to take it over Waltimore.  So while Waltimore did help neutralize opposing offenses, in the process it did the same to the O's and teams with LHPs in rotations or the bullpen could easily take down the O's.  I do wonder if they split the gap and maybe bring the wall in 15-20 feet, but still keep the height.
