For Kris Bryant/Anthony Rizzo?, I would have to say...yes. Can't see much else.
Yeah, I don't see a fit with them. They likely want to trade Castro to get their closerand he doesn't really fit here IMO.

So no one on this list would interest you two?

I'll gladly give up three years of an expensive closer for 6+ years of a corner outfielder.

7M is not too much for a closer. Especially if it allows you to trade your other 7 M closer for a good young OF bat. Britton is going to cost us 30 M the next 3 years so replacing him with O'Day at 7 isn't such a bad idea IMO.

I would rather go with closer-by-committee in 2016 while trading Britton for cheap, controlled quality prospects and not spending that kind of money on individual relievers no matter how effective. It's beginning to look like Buck and DD want to keep the band together which I think is a mistake, but perhaps that's a discussion for another thread.

Closer by committee would be Given as closer by the end of April.

I don't think Dan is the type to trade for somebody else's prospects from his own star players. He's not Andy McFleece you. He drafts and develops and trades for working parts. I don't think he would accept a prospect back. He, Buck and the rest of us want to win now.

If Dan won't trade a relief pitcher for a corner outfielder who should be ready for the majors before the end of the upcoming season then we are in worse shape then I thought.

Definitely some of them. I should have phrased better...I don't think there's a fit for Castro here. Several of their other guys. I'm just not sure I have the stomach to watch another of our pitches dominate in Chicago.

They will make Zach start after they are unable to extend Jake.

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.
