Just in case there was any question of whether Ventura is the punk in this whole situation, it seems like the Royals are tired of his crap as well.

On the heels of Orioles third baseman Manny Machado charging the mound Tuesday night, Yahoo Sports reports that the Kansas City Royals are looking to trade pitcher Yordano Ventura.

Interesting...it seems as thought Ventura suffers from Jeff George syndrome: Million dollar arm; ten cent head

Also it's worth noting that the catcher did nothing to stop or slow down Manny from charging the mound. Usually given enough time the catcher will try to protect his pitcher; catcher didn't really seem to care that much. Maybe KC is as fed up as everyone else

Maybe that's it.

Hate to even suggest it after yesterday but, we could use him. 25 Y.O., 96 mph fastball, affordable contract thru 2019.

Definitely a buy-low candidate at this point. I give up Bundy in a heartbeat for this guy.

I had a fleeting thought of that as well. If there's one thing I have confidence with as far as Showalter goes, it's that he isn't going to put up with his crap and neither will anyone else on the team. I hate to say it too, but

we could use the guy. He will probably come cheap if they are going to just give up on him.

He flashed throat cutting signs and other hand signals at Manny. I assume Manny knows their nature. I'd pass. He's an awful pitcher.

You think we could get KC to take Jimenez if we pay a chunk of his salary straight up for Ventura? It really depends how bad KC wants to unload him.

You have got to be kidding. i gess you are not aware of what has made this team a winning team for four seasons.

It would be so amazing to have him and Manny on the same team. And then we could get Donaldson to play 3B and leave Manny at SS.

That's actually kinda funny. Tell you what though, the guys you hate the most while on another team sometimes make the best teammates. In Venture that might not be the case, but if he could be had for something like Wright, Mancini and Lee, I'd make that trade and hope Buck can get him to mature.

Definitely not a nugget. Never happen.

Not Jimenez, that's for sure. You think Showalter is going to let that stuff fly here? We need pitching that can be obtained on the cheap and we have some real leaders on this team. The Orioles are desperate for young, cheap pitching. If it's a chance to unload Jimenez, it's even better.

      But again, nothing you say here changes anything. This team is going to be built from within. They are not going to try to build any other way…and they are right about that. This doesn’t mean they don’t need to spend but again, those guys will supplement the roster. And don’t think they won’t talk about how they added guys at the deadline for 2025. That they are “like free agent signings”.

      It was the holder, not the kicker.  Jackson may not be perfect, but he's far from the problem this year. He's got a fumbling issue that may at some point cost this team a game or two, but there is no doubt he's playing some good football right now.

      Yeah I'm surprised that Cleveland has been this bad. They were good last season.

      The when is really two questions.  One is when do the O's stop being handicapped by the risk-averse mindset that's governed their behavior since 2018, and the second is when does a 74 year-old billionaire tire of being told he has to wait a little longer because Jackson Holliday needs to further refine his new toe-tap?  Oh, and we also need to nail down a position for Coby Mayo, and so on.  No question?  I think the questions are numerous and many of them pretty important, and because they're so important, I think we'll start seeing a change in approach beginning this offseason.  I certainly hope so. Nothing I've said disputes the need for internal development or diminishes the role our current core of young players - some of whom haven't exactly made a seamless transition - will need to play for sustained success.  Nor is it a call for stupid FA spending.  It very much is an argument that time needs to be thought of differently now that two very successful regular seasons are behind the O's and the huge impediment of Angelos ownership is no longer a factor.

      If he wants to join Hyde’s staff in some capacity, I’d be fine with that. Or are you actually talking about him being on the team as a player?

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By foxfield · Posted

      So why would you have sought payment if you were owner as you previously stated?  Since you are not known for being litigious and all? Also as I am sure you’re already aware the media exclusivity rights in Vegas are already shared by 6 major league teams. Which clearly was not the situation in DC as the territory was expressly the territory of the Baltimore Orioles.
