"Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that James Loney's representatives plan to contact the Mets to gauge interest.

Lucas Duda is out indefinitely with a stress fracture in his back, so it could be a natural fit. Sherman hears that the Mets at least have "some curiosity" about the possibility. Loney, 32, is batting .333/.368/.417 with two home runs and 23 RBI over 39 games with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate. He has the ability to opt of his minor league deal if he finds an opportunity in the majors."

They'll probably go the cheap route like Loney. Then see what's there at the deadline. I wish we could be in a division like the NL Central or NL east and get to just feast on the bottom feeders. How fun would it be to play the twins 13 more times?

Not so far, Trumbo has gone above and beyond what Alvarez has done.

Which is the only reason Trumbo may have some trade value.

I agree the Mets probably wouldn't give up enough for the Orioles to trade him. I'm just saying, if some team gets desperate for some power and has a SP to move, I'd trade Trumbo.

I think Christian Walker is the BEST fit. He is blocked in the Orioles organization, plays good defense, and has shown a solid bat in AAA in a big sample size. Mets might give up a comparable ML ready AAA player for him at a position the Orioles lack. Or maybe a higher end prospect farther away.

I will check out at the end of the season. When he sent 45 hr and 120 rbi

Ludicrous.

Trumbo is a well known fast starter.

It shows remarkably unfounded optimism to expect him to continue on his present pace when he has never before done so.

As I have previously stated this isn't even the best start to the season he has had.

      As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.

      For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk.

      I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.

      Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy.

      So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?

      A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”

      Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
