You mean just like the Orioles did with Valencia?
Matusz to San Diego. For something. Reimold and Henry Urrutia to Miami. Again, for something.

Maybe Miami will acquire those two to carry Stanton's luggage ? I can't imagine any other reason.

That could have some legs. I could see SD bring interested in him to fill a role depending on what they move.

The Orioles are thought to be looking at trade options for Nolan Reimold, MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko reports. The O’s must decide by today what they will do with Reimold, as they would otherwise have to designate the outfielder for assignment unless he is placed on the Major League roster. Reimold has been hampered by multiple neck surgeries over the last few seasons but has posted a .902 OPS over 17 games on a Double-A rehab assignment.

Reimold has not played in the majors for awhile. I can see some team taking a chance of him and letting him work his way back up the minors. Trading for him. Why?

Because if you trade for him you get him. If you play the waivers game, and you are not Tampa, you may not get him.

Some teams might just think Nolan is an upgrade over who they have now.

Why would a team want a guy with power and plate discipline that can run a little?

Have you seen that Boston has been playing in the outfield?

That's interesting. How do you know that weams?

Clearly it is an opinion. You cant know who would claim him until he is exposed...till then its guesswork.

I think there is a possibility that at least 4 or 5 teams could use his skill set as a complimentary piece if he hit the waiver wire. Would not be shocked if he were claimed. SD is a team I could see claiming either Lough or Reimold. If they intend to sell then either of those guys could be used as placeholders to replace the talent they move.

I seriously doubt that 15 teams are gonna claim either of these guys though.

Adding to that point, and given what Boston has been dealing with, you don't think they might be a little gun shy about adding someone who might shatter into a thousand pieces at the thought of a stiff breeze?

Some teams value outfield defense.

Some teams value power hitters with good plate discipline.

Some teams think clutch in the postseason is something that actually exists.

Unfortunately it looks like the O's might only be in that third group.

      AL playoff picture

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      They still need to win a few games to get there. I still don’t understand why people are acting like that is so certain (quoting you but not referring to you, per se).    3-8 in the last 11. 11 games left. In all seriousness, what makes anyone think we can even go 3-8 in the next 11?  We are bad in every single phase of the game and we’re playing against teams who have everything to play for (other than SF today, and they’ve pretty easily handled us this week already).    These last two games against SF, especially last night, have convinced me they’re going to fully blow this. We’ve already shown that Detroit can handle us. Probably going to lose to Webb today. Then it’s NY in NY. When is the last time we beat the Yanks in a late season series that mattered to both teams?  Ever? This team certainly isn’t the one to do it. And then it’s do or die in MIN. Anybody believe we can take 2/3 there?  I just don’t see a path to more than three wins, and even getting three doesn’t seem remotely certain. I think we’ll be lucky to win one game each of these last three series. Maybe that’s enough, but I’m far from sure they can even do that.    What’s the counterpoint to this?  Injury returns?  Too late for that IMO. Just start playing better?  What would make anyone believe that’s going to happen after 3.5 months of bad baseball? For real, someone tell me what they’re seeing that makes them think even 3-8 is going to happen in the next 11.

      O’s look done

      By gtman55 · Posted

      We traded far too much for what we got in return IMO. You can't totally judge trades this early but as it stands now, Elias gets a well deserved D for his trade deadline performance. I've said this before. He's done a fantastic job bringing this club back to relevancy. I just question some of his roster construction and trade decisions.

      Since July 1st, the Orioles are 31-37 and since the Trading deadline when Elias was supposed to make the team better they've gone 19-24 (.441). Now grant it the team lost Westburg and Grayson as well as Eflin for a little bit, but what can't be swept under the rug is that Elias traded a decent part of his minor league league prospects and the team has done worse. The acquisitions of Rogers, Jimenez and Soto have not improved the team. Eflin has kept them from being even worse and we have him for next year, and the same goes for Dominguez. Hopefully Soto will figure it out or Elias wasted two pitching prospects (Chace being probably being the one with the most upside of any pitcher traded).

      First off, welcome to the Hangout. It's hard to see this team doing anything in the playoffs as they've pretty much imploded this September when we hoped they would turn it back on. I mean, we never know, but unless a miracle turn around occurs, whoever gets the Orioles in the first round is going to have it fairly easy.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By EricK · Posted

      The 1984-2024 O's could tie the 1903-1943 St Louis Browns for one of the top 10 all time World Series appearance droughts.  Think about it that way.  It's been a long time.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_postseason_droughts
