Reading through this trade-happy thread, it seems obvious that no one thinks that Kevin Gausman, Johan Santana, or maybe Mike Wright and a healthy Steve Johnson will be able to step into the rotation and help later in the season. Plus, I don't think the Orioles pitching is all that bad. The only weak link I see is Gonzalez, and he would fit nicely in the BP if replaced by Gausman or Santana.

People please stop talking about Steve Johnson being in the rotation. He's a mop-up man at best. He will never take innings away from Gausman, Bundy, Santana, Wright, etc.

Did you actually read it? Most are saying it is silly to give up the ranch for a pitcher when the offense is clearly the problem.

Surprised the people arguing against Samardzija's ERA last year aren't arguing about his won-loss record this year.

I don't have a problem getting the guy on a dump or reduced near free agent cost ...but our lineup is clearly the problem.

I've been for improving both aspects since the beginning of the year, but I agree that Samardzija is likely too costly for us at this point and a LF/DH makes more sense.

How about the ultimate capitalizing on recent success and trade Britton plus for Jeff Z? We'd be selling real high. Then let Gausman close. Britton was a DFA candidate before this season. Maybe Britton, Ed Rod and comp pick gets it done. Gausman and Gonzo could pick up the slack in the pen.

Britton, Schoop, Wright?

Samardzija isn't the pitcher that he is right now IMO. His WHIP is 2-3 per 9 low right now. Not saying he's not good and all but you'd be buying high.

Doubt Theo would be happy with that package.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I definitely see your point with this. At this point, we should make the playoffs, barring major injuries and drop offs. So, how much does it matter who your 4th and 5th starters are in the playoffs? Even your 3rd starter may only pitch one game of a 7 game series, but your pen is going to be out there every single game. Go get the pen arms.

      There is an argument to be made that you bring in 2-3 new relievers and make the offense even better. Solve your weakness and improve upon your strength.  And just go with what you have at starter.    Playoffs are largely about scoring and your bullpen anymore.  You hope for 5, maybe 6 good innings out of your starter.  You need your starters to not lose you the game. forget the bigger name closer type guys.  Go after the guys like Nardi and Walker.  They won’t cost you any of your top guys. And make a play for Robert. An injury prone guy but a potential difference making talent when he’s healthy. Plus it gives us another righty and he can play CF at a high level. Maybe you just do something like that, get Mayo and Holliday up here and try to bludgeon teams.

      The long innings yesterday momentarily enabled him to regain "qualified" status with 70.1 innings in 70 team games. Mid-June Fangraphs has 74 arms keeping the pace.    Grayson lands: 3rd in PitchingBot estimated ERA 5th in Stuff+ 10th in Fastball velocity 27th in ERA 24th in K-bb 34th in fWAR Past 1 Calendar Year, he and Zack Wheeler have the same ERA.

      Gotta think he's got a good chance at getting selected for the All Star Game along with Burnes and maybe Kimbrell

      I agree with a lot of this. I think I also should’ve decided the offense of stats of the guys ahead of him. Because other than the big three, the rest of the stats really aren’t very impressive for the remaining outfielders in the American League. I just seems like this year, for whatever reason there is a ton of outfielders with great  offensive production.

      How many times has an Oriole rookie tried to establish himself while also dealing with being Mooooore than just a rookie. I think Cowser will be fine and I hope patience prevails. Stats aside, I see something. I mean in all his struggles - ups and downs - that "fun" personality prevails. Gotta root for that - right? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
