I think Dan Duquette is letting the other teams "feed" first. There's no sense in getting involved in a bidding war when we don't have as many spare pieces as other teams.

Exactly. We likely will be someone's fallback partner.

@masnRoch: #orioles had interest in some of OFs already traded, but couldn't match other club's offers. Sounds like this includes Brandon Moss

So I think we can say goodbye to the Upton/Cespedes/Cargo ideas... I knew better but still allowed myself to believe. Why do I do this every season?! Lol

@JackCurryYES: Yankees just acquired Dustin Ackley from the Seattle Mariners, source said.

At first I was amazed at how little NYY gave up. Didnt realize how awful Ackley is. And i know getting expensive.

Wonder if Seattle trades anyone else now.

Indicative of the very poor drafting of this organization compared to other systems over the last 10 years. Other organizations seemingly always have endless prospects to get whomever they wish for. This is also due to other organizations being willing to cut bait with their big league guys before losing them in return for hauls of prospects. Also due to the old rules regarding trading free agents you had rented and getting picks back in return.

Well, they do play NYY next week. So hopefully they get Cespedes tonight.

This move very head scratching for both marlins and braves.

@PBPjasonlieser: From a non-traded Marlin: "This is some of the stupidest f------ s--- I've ever seen today. On the field, off the field, all of it."

Here is article a about dodgers philosophy

@JeffPassan: What the Dodgers are doing with their money is exactly what the Yankees should have been doing for the past decade: http://t.co/xJgtQym5EW

Silver lining: the more trades the Orioles don't make for rentals, the more FAs they'll be taking a stronger look at in the off season (since they won't be giving up picks).

I would usually be enthused but based on our history, most important pieces have come through trades/draft

      I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.

      End of season melancholy

      I usually post the lyrics of Paul Simon’s Night Game on the last day of the season, but it doesn’t really fit for a team going to the playoffs.   So I’ll wait, and hopefully never have occasion to post it.

      Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Please don’t compare OAA and dWAR.  OAA and dWAR are not comparable stats.  First of all, OAA is measured in outs, while dWAR is measured in wins.   That’s a very different scale.   Second, OAA is not adjusting for difficulty of position, while dWAR contains a significant adjustment for position.   Third, OAA measures range but doesn’t measure the throwing aspect of being an outfielder.   If you want to compare apples to apples (and I assume you do), Statcast has a statistic called Fielding Runs Value that converts OAA plus the throwing aspect into runs.   Cowser has a +10 FRV, which as the names implies, is measured in runs.  FRV feeds directly into the fWAR calculation, along with a factor that adjusts for difficulty of position, which for Cowser is measured at -4.1 runs.   Meanwhile, rWAR uses Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which is directly comparable to FRV.  Cowser has a +3 DRS, not as good as his +10 FRV.   Those are the comparable stats, and the 7 run difference converts to about 0.7 WAR. That’s the main difference between Cowser’s 4.1 fWAR and 3.2 rWAR. I see that after Gil’s poor performance yesterday, Cowser now leads him in both rWAR (3.2 to 3.1) and fWAR (4.1 to 2.2).   So, I like Cowser’s chances.

      I'm the opposite.  I don't want him sitting too much and getting into his own head.

      2024 Dodgers

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Our key players aren't ready to uphold their part of the deal yet, but the Peak Orioles Teams sometime this decade against these Dodgers before they get too old would be an amazing matchup.      I've only gotten to watch most of a Dodgers game the past week or so, and one of the impressions even though they are HOF and still near the very best is that Freddie and Mookie are fraying some as time continues its unbeaten streak. I think we're the likeliest club of any of the 29 others to be able to out-talent the Dodgers anytime soon.
