Read into this as little or as much as you want. This is what my guy told me today:

The front office is very happy with the Tejada return. The feel Scott is a real sleeper and may well put up #s in excess of Miggy. The young pitchers will not be rushed.

Everything is on hold with Bedard due to conflicting reports on where Kuroda will end up. Lots of reports that he's selected LA but last last evening reports started to surface that he's choosing the M's. Appears they may have gone a 4th year and Washington has no state income tax which placed another million per year in his pocket.

IF LA loses out on Kuroda, Bedard most likely will land there. In the package will be Kemp of Kershaw, not both. The front office may be leaning towards a package of Either, Kershaw, Hu, and another pitcher.

The current Reds offer for Bedard is said to be Bailey, Hamilton, and a shortstop prospect named Loo. Most likely they'll add a 4th player if the deal gets close.

Lots of concern over the SS position. We had an offer for the Astros SS but he choose the Twins.

He told me he doesn't think Roberts will get traded.

Mora was very, very upset about the Tejada trade. He'll mostly be gone even if we have to eat some contract.

Still looking at signing a closer type.

That's all folks!

Good stuff. Although if we aren't getting Kemp, we better be getting Laroche.

Also, who is this Loo character?

In seriousness...

There isn't a shortstop prospect in Cincy that has that last name.

I want Votto though w/ Bailey and Hamilton. I've been liking that trade every day since the Kuroda mystery began.

BTW, once Kuroda does choose, do you expect something to go down extremely quickly with Bedard?

Not really thrilled with either of those rumored offers for Bedard. Gotta get Kemp and LaRoche from the Dodgers, and certainly need to get Votto back from the Reds. I'd also prefer Cueto to Bailey.

Agreed. We need two of the three of Kemp, Laroche, and Kershaw. I look elsewhere if they don't agree to that. Honestly, I don't know why they wouldn't considering how deep their entire system is.

I agree. I really like Kershaw, but I'd rather have the stud position guys. I also think Votto is a must in any deal with the Reds (unless Bruce is miraculously included).

Much rather have a deal centered around Kemp than Kershaw.

Also doesn't sound like we are getting LaRoche either, which is disappointing. I still think a Kemp, Hu, McDonald, plus 4th guy deal could be very nice.

Hate the Cincy deal. We have to get Votto back from them if they are being stingy on Bruce. I would actually prefer Cueto to Bailey as well. I still think Votto, Cueto, Hamilton is a deal I would seriously think about.

Interesting about Roberts, seems like your guy has been hinting this for a while, bb.

Peace, Belkast....any word on Roberts?

Any word on the Dodgers offer?

If Kuroda does go Dodger Blue, who is the next in line for Bedard? Cincy (they seem to think they are 1st in line)?

My impression - and I so not have an insider, just listening to the chatter - was that Bedard to the Cubs was a 100% certainty. The deal appeared to be Gallagher, Murton and at least 2 add ins. People in Chicago, though, seem to value Murton over Pie. But Hendry seems to eat, sleep and dream Roberts and MacPhail seems to want to make up for the Trax deal. Was the change about the return?

So may questions, so little time....

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.

      2024 Week 3: Ravens @ Cowboys

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
