Morosi reporting Orioles interested in Liriano


Just Regular

Recommended Posts

Whenever I hear DD and the word "trade" I cringe. His ineptitude on the trade market is that of legend.

And before someone tries to bash me, I am hiding in a flame proof bunker.

Embrace it. It's going to happen.

I have been fine with almost all trades except Davies for Parra and that was more because of Parra not being a game changer and I didn't think last year we were a playoff team and Parra wouldn't make a difference. Feldman trade was ok at time Arrieta was basically done here it didn't work out but that was more on coaches and Arrieta imo then anything.

If PIT needs to cut cash (he gets 13M next year too), then I would take him off their hands. Obviously, Buck and Co. would need to look at tape and see something fixable. His Velocity is still good, so who knows.

The idea of adding another Ubaldo doesn't seem appealing. Orioles aren't the Dodgers who could gamble on Liriano rebounding, don't want to waste funds on Liriano that could be better spend elsewhere.

No thanks.

Liriano doesn't make us a World Series contended so giving up prospects for him does nothing for us long term or short term.

Either go big and try to get pomeranz or gray or just make a few minor trades for pen pieces/an extra bat and hope ubaldo, Gausman and gallardo can all straighten themselves out.

Liriano is trending majorly in the wrong direction, wasting prospects on him is an awful idea.

Did DD acquire Brad Brach? How about players like Pearce, Mcclouth, Hundley, all pf them have been prety good pickups and some were trades.

Guthrie for Hammel was quite nice. I feel good about what Bud Norris did in 2014, so I liked that one. Certainly MacPhail still deserves a lot of credit for the turnaround. Davis, Jones, Tillman, Hardy. What a guy..

I guarantee it if we're still near 1st place.

All the Orioles need to do is limp into the playoffs at all for any sacrifice to be worth it.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
