Yeah..same thing as what I posted...nothing really new. I think that he would be a perfect fit with Buck, but the cost.....

Thinking the cost might not be as high as we think especially if the Cards are interest. Molina will be back for the playoffs I cannot see them giving up a ton for a guy who will be a backup come playoff time.

He would be a good get. Might be able to get for one of Hundley/CJ/Clevenger (who could play now for the Twins and be controllable) and a middle of the road prospect...walk year, solid but not spectacular player. Would be better than what we have when paired with one of CJ or Hundley

Besides the cost it would be the problem of adjusting to a new catcher at this point in the season. The pitchers are throwing well to Caleb and Hundley. You wouldn't want to disrupt that. I doubt Suzuki is a defensive upgrade.

Interesting point. I don't know honestly. I know he is an offensive upgrade.

I also know that despite my love of Schoop, we could upgrade there as well if available.

We need a left handed bat and despite Delmon being a terrific player, is redundant-hopefully there is a match there somewhere.

The trade deadline is always exciting-let's see what happens.

He is solid not great defensively.

I think that you do it if the price is low enough. 2B is another position that could be upgraded but would likely cost much more in terms of outgoing talent to do so. I can see both sides of that coin, its all about how much it costs for me.

Right now are SP is in a groove. Would you risk screwing that up? Is the upgrade with the bat worth it?

Agree with you, EG. I like the way our catchers are working with the pitchers right now. I'd HATE to see a disruption in that...though I think Suzuki is a pretty good signal-caller.

Suzuki is having a career year at the plate to this point...which means that mean reversion is likely to kick in any day now.

Going forward there's no reason to think Suzuki will be an upgrade over Hundley as a hitter. Hundley's career OPS+ is 90; Suzuki's is 89. Would you bet $100 that Suzuki will outhit Hundley from this point of the season on? I wouldn't.

70 million expensive. What position does he play?

Phillies already said they'll eat a lot of that money. They want him gone.

Being reported that Mets will pay 2 Million of Colon's remaining salary.

If we get him and Suzuki are we legit contenders?

What about next years 10m he's owed.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Angelos did fight the relocation.  He voted against, lobbied against it, withheld permission to adjust TV territories, and threatened to sue if not fairly compensated.  As long as the team was compensated for the loss of broadcast exclusivity, I don’t think he had any other case. From all reports, he drove a hard bargain and it took like 9 months to negotiate a compensation and settlement agreement. There was a wide discrepancy among various parties about what constituted just compensation with Angelos taking more pessimistic views of the impact of the Nats franchise and less optimistic view on MASN. Also, MASN was in perpetuity not temporary.  In hindsight, MASN probably didn’t provide the revenue protection intended because of how the dispute played out and how the RSN market collapsed, but that’s in hindsight. Overall, Angelos “won” the MASN dispute (at least the RSDC process) more than he lost it - the Nationals advocated for rights fees intentionally designed to bankrupt MASN but the RSDC didn’t use their comps. Overall, I think it’s fair to say that relocating a team to DC has hurt the Baltimore club’s market size and ability to fund a top-10 payroll.   HOWEVER, had the Nats not come to DC, the specter of an Orioles relocation to DC would have been hanging over our heads especially as Peter’s health declined, the stadium aged, and the lease approached. Peter would never have moved, but are we sure JA would turn down a higher offer of say $2.3BN offer from Ted Leonsis or someone with the intent to move the club to DC? I think as an Orioles fan it’s probably best to have another team in DC than have to worry about the Orioles ever relocating there.

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
