783 on the road.

Funny how even you choose to ignore stuff like park effects if it doesn't suit your current argument.

Urrutia and Alvarez and hitting better at home than on the road. Hard to know how the park is affecting Reimold.

Yeah I also expect a reliever to be sent down and we'll play with a short pen for a couple games.
When Marusz comes back, he's the 25th man, so nothing has to happen then concerning the position players. When Schoop returns, it's a different story.

My bet would be McFarland.

I agree with this. Cabral gets optioned. Reimold's career OPS is 762.
Cabral has options.

I think that it's pretty evident at this point that DD likes to keep as many cards in his hand as possible. Maybe someone will be DFA (Lough, Snider), but I think history shows that a move involving someone with options is far more likely. Despite constant calls for various players to be DFA (seriously if the OH was allowed to manage roster in a reactionary manner the last three seasons, we may not have been able to field a complete roster this season) that's just not DD's style. He's all about deep depth.

Send out TJ while keeping Cabral as the lefty specialist. Brach is essentially your long man in the very short term if you need one. May be able to get away with it with yesterday's off day. If the bullpen gets taxed and you need additional help in long relief, you can send down Cabral and bring up someone like Gamboa, or even Wright.

Odd timing given the roster crunch with Matusz suspended, but clearly we're trying to strike while the iron is hot with Reimold.

I agree.

This ST, it was all about Lough and Flaherty being sent to AAA and not even on the big league roster. Cabrera was going to be a big improvement over Flaherty.

      We have the best inside the Mayo family source there is.  @Roy Firestone have you heard anything about an imminent Coby Mayo promotion?

      No they don’t but it would be a big help.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I don't really want to see an all in trade given the risk involved with picking up any pitcher in the game right now. I want to see if veteran players on a big contract are an option now with Rubenstein. A player like Max Scherzer should be on the table as a means to add another viable starting pitcher. I have to think under Angelos a player like Scherzer would be too expensive and a nonstarter. I'd rather pay $$$ for some high priced veterans over giving up top prospects for one pitcher that you pray doesn't get a sore elbow.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m not an actuary. That’s @Filmstudy realm. He’s a master at calculating odds. Here’s what I will say. I think (just my two cents) that Elias should be aiming to come away from the trade deadline with a starting pitcher who is a real difference maker. And hopefully a bullpen arm or two that have power/strikeout stuff (unlike all of our relievers currently not named Kimbrel). Elias should be trying to increase our odds as high as possible. I don’t know by what percent our odds will increase. But I do know that if we add a top of the rotation type pitcher to what we have, the odds of us likely being successful against ANY TEAM in the Fall will go up. This again is just my opinion (for whatever that is worth) but it sends the right message to the players that you are invested in truly trying to get this team over the line (World Series trophy). If the message that is sent to the players continues to be “one foot in and one foot out”. I’m not sure if that is a strong appeal to ultra competitors like Gunnar and Adley. People might say well who cares what the players think? But it is probably going to play a roll (what they think/how they feel) in whether or not they are willing to re-up here longterm. And I can’t envision a version of the Orioles that is as strong and as viable to maximizing the earnings/value of the franchise without them. I’ve said this before, but I attend a lot of games and I’m around town very often. I see all of the #2 and #35 shirts on people’s backs in the stadium and around the community. Lastly, I believe that it is very important that we do right for players like Stowers and Norby. I get and I’m sure they understand that there may not be a place for them on the Baltimore Orioles. But you can’t leave guys buried at AAA for years and never give them a chance, especially when we are talking about prime years. These guys only have so many years to make money by playing the game. If you can’t use them, send them elsewhere. I have never been a big believer that you get rewarded by treating people (and that is what all the players actually are) wrong.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By TopGunnar · Posted

      Holliday isn’t being traded lol. And I highly doubt Mayo is traded. Basallo is expendable to me. We have Adley.

      Seems logical with the lefties coming up. It's time. Get him a taste before the AS break, temporarily option someone, then make a deal at the deadline to jettison someone like Urias.
