Here are some names that might be available at the deadline Duke may be interested in:

OF:

David Murphy

Ben Zobrist

Josh Reddick

Ben Revere

Carlos Gomez

SP

Aaron Harang

Kyle Lohse

RP

Will Smith

----------------------

An upgrade in left field and another bullpen arm is what I think will happen again.

I like Ben Revere for 2nd in order and backup CF. He eliminates Lough and frees up a roster spot.

What would be the price for Will Smith? He is just hitting first year of arb, under control until 2020. Arguably, he is more valuable to them than Carlos Gomez, and Gomez is going to cost a lot. Andrew Miller cost Eduardo just for a two month rental. I don't see that one happening.

Unfortunately, I don't see any impactful lefty available for a rental type deal. Maybe Oliver Perez or Eric O'Flaherty, but both have struggled this year. O'Flaherty would be cool just for the novelty of a Flaherty and O'Flaherty on the same team.

I don't like Harang or Lohse any more than the guys we got right now.

Not sure why we need a more expensive version of David Lough.

Revere makes 8x as much as Lough. It's not like it would be a significant upgrade. And you'd have to give up a prospect or two for him. Not a good idea at all.

With Revere you'd be trading power and defense for steals. Steals are awesome. Can't we steal our way to the pennant?

I think we'll make a trade but we have to see how our own 25 man roster shakes out. We still have Schoop and W.Wright on rehab assignments. What to do with Norris. Then we have to see what the corner OF situation looks like. I could see a trade for a rental reliever.

That can't be right. Cargo is owed like $50M over the next 2.5 years, Snider makes in a year what he makes in a month. He has to be better. The Rockies paid for wins. The showed commitment to their fans. I don't get it.

I don't think you know who you speak of Carlos Gomez is a Brewer who has never been paid by the Rockies.

And is owed only 9 mill next year and had over a 4 war last year. So pssst he would be an upgrade.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      I suspect the answers to this poll would look different if Dominguez had a bad outing tonight.  Although we definitely saw the downside of having Kjerstad playing LF tonight.

      Are we done?

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      We'd better not be done!  Eflin is a good #4 starter but they need someone better for game 3 of a playoff series (if not game 2).   And yes, we do need a better closer.  Scott and Finnegan are still out there and there are probably others that I'm forgetting.  It's not that Kimbrel can't save games, it's that he's a ticking time bomb.  He gets into these slumps where he loses effectiveness and the O's need to be able to put him in low-leverage relief for a couple of weeks until he gets his mojo back, which means they need another closer to cover those episodes.  What if Kimbrel starts slumping in the playoffs?

      He looks defeated... Stir things up, guys. Call up Mayo. Bench everyone for a game. Hit Adley 9th and Henderson 7th. You gotta change things if things are going to change.

      If Mike wants the Orioles to make it past the first round of the playoffs, he better have more moves up his sleeve. The Orioles need to be buyers and sellers at the trade deadline this year. We need another starter and a another reliever. Since the offense is struggling, we might need another hitter as well. If the Orioles don't experience post season success, I will put all the blame on Mike. It is absolutely vital that the Orioles make several good moves at the trading deadline. Mike is off to a good start! We just need him to keep going. You can't stop making moves.

      Hays traded to Phillies

      He said at the end "I'm coming into a team where we may have an even better chance of winning a WS". Austin... right now I wholeheartedly agree w/ you!

      At this point it feels like heartbreak city coming if we make the playoffs which somehow we still should. I’m sure many remember 1997 and the ALCS. Why do I feel like Kimbrel will be our Armando and blow it…those box scores still make me sick to look at.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By DrinkinWithFermi · Posted

      I had actually thought about this recently and came to the conclusion that this would actually be kind of smart and awesome. We kind of need a second CF to play LF at OPACY, so split his time between LF and DH. LF at home, DH on the road. That would protect his health and keep him fresh, while also maximizing him when he is on the field. The issue is, of course, everything else. The Angels would have to eat a bunch of money for us to take on his remaining contract years, and they would absolutely have to get a flagship prospect back to save face in trading away a franchise icon while ALSO eating money on his deal. It clearly wouldn't be Holliday, and I think Basallo is too important to us to trade until Adley is extended, if that ever happens, so it would have to be Mayo, whose right-handed bat in future Orioles lineups would effectively be replaced by Trout's.  Could you live with Mayo+ for Trout and Estevez, plus like $10-15 million per year to get a future HOF who has shown no signs of slowing down as a hitter when healthy? I could.
