Would love to see confirmation of this. Wondering what it cost us though. I know Boston was asking a ton for him. Good get if true and we did not overpay

"The Sox are reportedly seeking a rival team’s top prospect and a lesser prospect in order to move their dominant setup man. Earning just $1.9MM in 2014, Miller is owed only $633K through season’s end." per Scott Lauber at Boston Herald.

Hopefully that price came down significantly....

That would have been my guess. Okay with me. I'm down on ERod and love Miller.

If true that is a pretty steep price for a 2 month rental....IMO...not a big fan if that turns out to be the case. I know ERod has struggled this year but he is still highly regarded by most scouts.

just terrible. He better not give up a run in those 20 innings. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of those trades you look back at in 10 years and shake your head.

I'm scared to think of the haul for a guy who might throw like 20 innings for us

Some of those innings will be in the post-season.

I know Detroit was hot n heavy after him.

Ed-Rod was arguably surpassed by Davies this year.

      If you could somehow combine Luis Arreaz’s hit tool with Mateo’s everything else, you’d have a hall of famer

      Sunday May 19: O's vs Mariners

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Sure. The three and five thing really makes sense, both intuitively and statistically. It’s the intuitive side of 1 v 9 that I just can’t wrap my head around in spite of the well done stats you’ve provided as an example.  Probably because I’m thinking game by game and not season by season. The idea of Mateo batting 5 times tomorrow night, while one of the best hitters in the league bats 4, seems in my head like nonsense.

      I think most people would be the same way. If a competing business would offer me a 20% raise to jump ship I'd have my two weeks in tomorrow.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Assuming Gunnar likes batting leadoff, which I think he does, I'm happy to keep him there. Your best hitters should get the most at bats.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Currently on pace for 55 HRs, 115 RBI, and 125 runs scored. Those are great numbers obviously, but are we taking full advantage of Gunnar's abilities by batting him leadoff almost every game? I'm sure Eddie Murray and Frank Robinson would have been dynamite at leadoff, but their teams were better off making sure they came up as much as possible with men on base. So far this season Henderson has fewer ABs with men on base than any of the other regulars, which has to have cost us some runs -- and therefor wins -- somewhere along the line.  With Cowser seemingly out of his funk I'd like to see him batting leadoff more often. He leads the Orioles in walks and OB%, and has enough speed that he'll take the extra bases just like Henderson does. I believe a lineup that looks something like this would score more runs than what we're getting now: VS RH --  Cowser Adley Westburg Henderson Santander O'Hearn Mountcastle Mullins Mateo   VS LH --  Westburg Adley Mountcastle Henderson Santander Hays Cowser McCann Mateo

      Houston Roth - Bowie

      By Legend_Of_Joey · Posted

      A bit of a forgotten pitcher in Bowie this season, we weren't even sure where he would start the year. The last few seasons, he worked as a starter or piggybacked with starters, making it up to AAA last season for 1 game, which didn't go the way he hoped to end the season. This year, the 26 year old, 858th overall pick in the 2019 draft has worked out of the bullpen. This season, he has appeared in 10 games, totaling 13.2 innings and getting 20 strike outs. He has a 3.95 ERA thanks to a disaster game on May 5th, where he allowed 5 runs. He also allowed a run on April 10th in his second appearance of the season. Aside from those two games, he hasn't allowed a run in the other 8 games. The big thing that impacted him the last few seasons were walks, which is still has some trouble with. 6 total so far, which would be fine if he started 10 games. But 6 walks in 10 games isn't ideal and is a big reason for his 1.24 WHIP. If he can lower the walks while keeping the strike outs and the runs sparse, I would like to see him get to Norfolk in June and see how he handles the bullpen there. With the glut of position players and seemingly lack of minor league pitching help for the bullpen, I want to see some aggressiveness on moving some older bullpen players seeing if they can sink or swim.
