  1. 1. Do you like the Davies for Parra trade?

    • I approve. A small price to pay to fix the O's OF hole with a quality veteran.
      95
    • I disapprove. The O's gave up up a pitching prospect for a rental who won't move the needle.
      98

I hate when people say "Well, you are only so many games from a wildcard, so you have to go for it, right?". To me the answer there is and should be "it depends". The O's are just 2 games back of that

But he had a top 3 OPS for an outfielder when they traded for him!

He was an elite MOO bat!

This gives the O's an inside track on signing him!

The defensive metrics are screwy, he's a plus defender, he has two gold gloves!

(Apparently) not a clubhouse cancer, bi-lingual, veteranosity, dives like Kakes, gamer, grinder.....:thumbsup1:

Wish our starters could do this. ;)

Our starters do this exactly. That's why we're good against terrible teams and 20 under against team .500 or better. Just in the AL only Oakland has been terrible all year. We have a pretty good record vs the Sox and A's. In the NL you have teams that are at a new level of terrible. The AL has a lot of parity.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      After going back and reading the draft day thread on Holliday,  I don't know if I would have the stomach to trade either one of those 3. I had the opportunity to watch Elijah Green this past week play in low A, and it reminded me of how fortunate it is to be an O's fan right now.

      320M and they need a pitcher.  I think they wasted a dime somewhere.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      But don't we need to get rid of the previous dogma - we need to spend when we're good to win?  It has nothing to do with Angelos or anything else along those lines.  If anything, my question is - knowing how good we are now, and having proven it, how can we maintain the guys that are still in the audition phase of the ascension to the bigs, without paying too high get some help now.  It's not like they're failing. I just think Elias might be thinking stop gap, not the main aisle deals.  I'm fine with that, but it seems like many just want him to give stuff away to get something big right now, and I don't think I agree with that - and I kind of hope Elias doesn't either, to be honest. Rubes will spend money, but after Angelos, it still won't be enough for some.  He doesn't need to prove he will by signing off on the trade of a top player/prospect.  I would be completely satisfied with an announcement that they had reached a long term agreement with Adley or Gunnar right now.  But I'm not waiting for Rubes to prove himself and trust that all I've seen from him so far is that he will differentiate himself from the previous ownership in a meaningful and real way - like he already has, in some ways, when his and the team's time is right.

      It would be Basallo for me, but the upside is so massive that voting for him makes me cringe. It's pretty simple: Don't. Trade. Any. Of. Them.

      I think the Tigers would run to the phone to call the commissioners office if they could get Holliday for Skubal

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I'm sure Dodger fans aren't like that.  I expect they're like Yankee fans and would like to buy/trade for all the best players.  Dodgers are actually way scarier to compete against than the Yankees they are probably the wealthiest team in the majors and run like a small market franchise in that they are trying to exploit market inefficiencies and never waste a dime.

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

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I disagree with all possible votes, it is slanted. The O’s are stacked and it’s likely they add a piece or two. If this was the Dodgers, we would be hailing the off-season moves and pushing for the next big move. And the Orioles keep winning, better!
