Gausman can not be traded unless we make him a bubble boy for 9 months. That won't happen. So the concept of trading him at all is moot.

9 months? I believe it is a year after his first contract, so he could be traded on July 13, 2013. I agree that it won't happen and it would stunt his development as a prospect, but I'm pretty sure that is the rule.

Any realistic Orioles proposal for Stanton begins with Bundy and Machado. Even then, I'm not certain we have enough ancillary pieces to make them bite. Maybe Tillman as a #3 piece, and one of Matusz/Arrieta/Britton to round it out if they think one is capable of overcoming their issues. If they're not enamored of the former "Big Three", it would probably require Schoop as a #4 piece. The Marlins are not "compelled" to move him in any way -- he's still under team control for four years, no matter how upset he is with the brass. This is just fishing for an overpay, and the Rangers or Mariners may just bite :D

As much as I'd like Stanton (and I'd probably give up more for him than anyone not named Trout), I think even I'd balk at that price...

Bundy, Machado, Tillman , and Schoop???? I'll have some of what your smoking. No way that deal remotely happens IMO.

Maybe Bundy, Schoop, one of Matusz/Arrieta/Britton/S Johnson, One of Hoes/Avery, and one of Delmonico/Esposito.

I personally would do a Bundy/Schoop/Britton/Hoes/Delmonico deal. I dont think many others would though

I'd do Bundy, Tillman, Arrieta or Matusz and Schoop. I don;t think we should or would have to trade both Bundy and Machado.S eriously, your talking about 2 of the top 10 prospects in all of baseball. I know technically Machado isn;t a prospect anymore but you get the point. He would be top 10 if not graduating late last year. SOmeone tell me the last time two top 10 prospects in all of baseball were traded in the same deal for a player??

The moving parts are a bit different, but Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller were both BA Top 10 prospects when they were traded for Miguel Cabrera. I suppose we can slot Nolasco into the Dontrelle Willis role in this case...Maybe Loria can buy himself a few more platinum-plated humidors. Generally, of course, hitters with Stanton/Cabrera's profiles don't get moved early in their careers.

I'm not saying Bundy/Machado/Tillman/Schoop is a trade I would make...I just think it's a *realistic* asking price for the Marlins to actually pull the trigger. On the other hand (and just to play devil's advocate)...I'd be devastated as an Orioles fan if Bundy/Machado turned out to be Maybin/Miller.

I think Cabrera had a bit more of a pedigree at that time as well. Right?

The Orioles can put a package together that would satisfy the Marlins. They need pitching, infield and outfield help along with their pen. We have players in all of these areas that we can afford to give up. The way DD works the independent league and international scene we can replace any of the players already mentioned in various combinations. Stanton can be our Cabrera if we add him to our lineup. DD will be making some moves soon.

The Marlins have no reason to trade Stanton until he costs more. So they won't. And if they do, we won't get him. And one of our division rivals might. So I hope I'm right in the former. And wrong in the later.

      No holiday card for Laz Dias this year

      If every major sport can have reply for impactful calls, then baseball needs to follow suit ASAP.  Yes, we can reply certain things in mlb, but the technology is there and it is being used in the minors with great success for strikes/balls. It makes 0 sense to keep letting awful calls by the umpire impact the outcome of games.

      Now back to Gunnar, Gunnar is in the midst of most likely the greatest individual season in Orioles history. And we have 21/22 pages on him and what 80 on Holliday?

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      I agree with the part of your post of maybe trying Cowser with his higher OBP and prior saying to get on base at the top of the lineup and maybe moving Gunnar into the 3 hole to give him an opportunity to hit with men on base. And I can even go along with Westburg in the cleanup spot though I would hate to move O’Hearn down in the lineup. But it is clear that those 5 are the best hitters on the team. However, I do not agree with “phasing out” Mullins, Hays, and especially Santander. That’s 3 outfielders with MLB track records (Mullins and Santander have especially good track records). I don’t leave in the fantasy land that we can bring up prospects to outproduce solid MLB guys (right away). The empirical data in 2024 suggests that the notion is a pipe dream more than something that has a lot of merit. Very few (even top prospects in the last couple of years) come to MLB right away, hit the ground running, and been good offensive players. I know fans don’t like hearing this, but it takes time. Elias’ philosophy of “one acclimating young player/prospect/rookie at a time” appears to be the most prudent approach. Our best/most realistic hope for improvement this season IMO lies with 2 things - 1) Finding a a guy or two at the back end of the pen who can get strikeouts consistently/nail things down. 2) One or two of the veteran outfielders breaking out of their slumps and getting things going. 3) Mateo continuing to be a functional offensive player at the bottom of the order. (That last one is particularly hard for me to say/admit because of how much I love Holliday. But right now he is not ready to contribute at the MLB level. And that’s okay because he’s still on 20).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      This is quite a development if true. Wonder what that might say about Bradfield.  The only way to find out is if Jackson starts getting starts in CF.

      I doubt Bradfield would be top 50 even with those numbers.  No doubt that Etzel has outplayed Bradfield and has exceeded all expectations, however.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      Gunnar has already had 19 more PA than the #2 most (Adley), 22 more PA than the #3 most (Santander), 27 more PA than #4 (Westburg), and 29 more PA than #5 (Mountcastle).  That is just over 1/4 of the season.   Batting him 4th means that he will very often get only 4 PA per game instead of 5, and that 5th PA will take place at a critical time in the 9th inning.  He hits a HR every 12.6 PAs (this year & every 19.9 PA career) so batting him second is coughing up 1-2 HR so far this season, 3rd or 4th is -3HR....and that's in just a little over 1/4 of the season.  So, by moving him to 3rd or 4th you're taking away ~10HR over the course of a full season.    Instead of putting him lower in the line-up, I'd like to see a higher OBP guy in front of him in the 9 spot.  Gunnar has the tools to be a tremendous lead-off hitter.
