ding ding ding we have a winner

Well this is Brian Roberts we are talking about here. Tejada was flipped like a light switch. And I'm sure he's on board with trading Bedard. The Mitchell Report was probably a shock to Angelos as far as Roberts' inclusion and admission thereby throwing a wrench into the works. He's got to make it look like we aren't trading Roberts just because of his steroid use admission.

Boy, thats a real shocker. What could the Mariners want in a potential Robert's trade to get us a better fourth piece? How many Fourth pieces turn out to be everyday players? The majority of these provern player for prospect deals, never work out. The proven player keeps playing while the prospects fade into the sunset.

Any evidence this is true?

So, anyone.....how does this work: does A) AM call PA every time he's about to do something OR B) does PGA hear that Roberts is about to go and calls AM cold?

I hope it's not A because I thought PGA was no longer a control gate. If it's B, why doesn't AM pat PGA on the head, says "it'll be fine", and then makes the deal anyway.

If we are trying to include a 4th player in both deals with the M's and the Reds, we should add some of our extra players to sweeten or take back salary. Take Sexson plus from the M's and add Millar & Payton. In the Reds deal if we get Votto, add Millar to platoon with Hatteberg. In both cases we get the better 4th player.

Flesh this out for me a bit...what do you mean by this?

Roberts is visible in the Baltimore community. He's just about the only Oriole to really give a hoot about Baltimore. Angelos probably has second thoughts about removing just about the only link the O's have to the city right now. They need to be strengthening their relationship not weakening it, but maybe another player like Walker or Guthrie could take over. Markakis isn't comfortable in the public spotlight so it won't be him...

      In a nonsave situation, Mike Baumann was tagged with an unearned run Sunday in 26-pitch ninth inning to seal Seattle's 5-1 win in a three-game sweep of the Angels. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-mariners/2024/06/02/745252/final

      Are we really sure that Vieira would be claimed.  I remember the O's have hung on to guys for dear life and then when they are DFA'ed, no one wants them.

      Maybe he’s throwing shade at somebody who hijacks every game thread.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      And hader, with the second biggest contract in reliever history, is 19th in average annual value just in current contracts (Diaz is 17th). There are 4 relief pitchers in the top 50 pitchers in annual salary (and that’s if you go by spotrac calling Kyle Hendricks a reliever, which he hasn’t been). Which tells you how mlb values starters vs relievers. If you have a chance to get even a  mid rotation starter, chances are it’s more valuable than very good high leverage relievers. They pitch a ton more innings that impacts the team more.  Relievers are volatile, and don’t exactly have longer shelf lives despite the lower inning workload.    if you get a pitcher with good enough stuff that can be a starter, you can always fall back on them being relievers if they don’t make it as starters. Taking someone with no starter potential limits their upside. That’s not what I want with an early pick. I’ll take all the sharkey types in later rounds, but if I get Brecht, I want him in the minors trying to be a starter as long as they think he can be one.

      All right I'll pull that back, he does only have a decent shot at his best year. the rest of the season has not happened yet, hell tomorrow could be his last game. I dont like sewing together partial seasons either. Last year half season started with July and August being a scorch fest followed by a cold September which featured shoulder problems and an IL stint. he does have one constant though, the defense is turning Elite. Yes bad AB today, but the more I look at him the more I see what his supporters see. I'm starting to come around to him.
