"There's a lot of teams that are in contention and there's a lot of markets where they're not sure if they want to be subtracting from their team, so that means there are a lot of teams trying to add and there are only a couple of markets that have declared they are going to be sellers. It's a supply and demand equation, right? There's a lot of teams chasing a few players.

"It depends on what the teams are able to do. I think in the AL East, the playoff spots are going to won in the next six weeks between now and September 1. The teams that are able to strengthen themselves and play well in that period of time will advance to the playoffs. So, we'll see."

I don't find this to be a surprise at all.

I can't imagine we would get much in return.

When you work for a large corporation (I do), you get used to being lied to. You also get used to understanding when you are being lied to. It is just part of the job. I don't suspect baseball teams are much different. Publicly exclaiming that you are giving up on the season is just bad for short-term future business. But when the sell-off occurs, just don't be surprised. :eek:

Great thinking DD! We should explore trades for Travis Snider, Bundy & Brian Matusz too!

Buy high. Sell low! Got it!

I can't recall us selling high since Bedard. So it's been seven years.

We do a good job of buying low (Chen, Gonzalez, Cruz last year, etc.). But not when it comes to trades.

Well that is just nuts.

If the O's go 1-6 over the next week then they shouldn't be buying.

If the O's lose TOMORROW they shouldn't be buying. 7 out in the division, 5 back along with 5 other teams for the 2nd WC. Fuggetaboutit.

      The Reds have quietly assembled a great rotation

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I expect to win against the Orioles to win against any and all opponents. We have the better team against anyone and our rotation is not chopped liver. Reds have some good young starting pitching no doubt. But their lineup leaves a lot to be desired.

      Yeah, not my favorite lineup as Santander is too high based on his performance at this time. don't like McKenna starting, especially at the same time as Urias in also in the lineup.  Just too many holes in this lineup that way, not that Mullins has been tearing it up, but I trust him more than McKenna for sure, even with a lefty out there.   But like last time when I said such a thing, watch us score 8-9 runs.  🙂

      Mullins has been struggling and there is a lefty on the mound today.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Oh sure, I'm very confident in Elias picking this low as I feel they do a good job of identifying what they like,  and it doesn't have to be just the top guys.  I won't be surprised at all if whomever they take ends up being better than expected for the slot they are picked in the end.   But it's just harder for me to keep up as the guy they draft is very unlikely to be someone I know much about.   When we are picking top 2-5 you really only needed to study 4 to 7 guys or so to be fairly certain you knew about who our guy would be.   Now there are probably 30ish guys who COULD go at number 22.  The top 10 will likely be gone and the guys after #40 or so won't be likely, but anyone in the 11 to 40ish range could be the pick of some fall or rise on our boards.  I'll be watching it closely on draft day,  but until then it's just too speculative to really dive into IMO. I do wonder how much harder it is to prepare for this kind of a draft as an organization.   When you are picking top 5, you can really narrow the focus down on 7-8 guys and really dive in deep to decide your board and who you take if available.  With being in the low 20s, you need to research many,  many more guys but probably not in nearly the depth you did while picking higher.

      6th straight game with 2 or fewer runs allowed

      By dystopia · Posted

      There was a fair amount. A lot of posts said Burnes was just a replacement for Bradish who was destined for TJS, that we needed to sign Montgomery, and when we didn’t there was quite a bit of frustration. I also wanted Montgomery, but we seem to be doing just fine without him.

      Sunday, May 5 - Orioles at Reds

      By WillyM · Posted

      It's no secret that Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins are off to slow starts, one having a batting average of .206 and OPS of .665, the other with BA of .200 and OPS of .668. But if you think the Orioles are the only team with highly-regarded outfielders having their troubles, I give you the Rays and Randy Arozarena. Arozarena has batted twice so far today, striking out with two runners on base each time.  He is batting .138 with an OPS of .484.
