I heard that Sanchez has two or three more starts.

The Yanks are rebuilding very well. They may have top 3 prospect system by next season.

I am listening to the Yankees radio broadcast, and it sounds like a wake. I think they have gone through several stages of grief. They have relived great stories, shared amusing anecdotes, pondered that the value of the prospects will be determined years from now, and in the middle innings have been cheered by the fresh swagger and youth the players seem to have tonight.

The Yankees don't really rebuild in the Houston sense of the word. They just grudgingly throw in the towel on a season every now and then.

Unrelated to the trade deadline but I wish we would have given Doug Fister a roll of the dice. A cheap one year deal he got with the Astros... Seemed to be minimal risk involved there. I always thought he was kind of underappreciated.

I picked him up on my fantasy team, early in the season, when I needed an arm, but lately he has been on a downhill spin.

I just don't think DD ever saw a player he'd move one of these guys for. I firmly believe they were both "touchable," it'd just have to be for the right guy. And given what those "right guys" went for, it's hard to fault the O's for wanting to bargain shop.

Plus, you can't discount that both of those guys will almost assuredly be on the big club next year, making league minimum... Which would free up budget money to spend elsewhere.

Would be impressive for Sisco to be handling a big league rotation next year.

Yikes - wake up call, you are right! Don't imagine too many strike 'em out throw 'em out like Matt did last night. Oh yeah as TX O says, IMO.....;)

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Interesting. I had forgotten that they signed him and then got him in the pitching lab in the offseason. Since September is prior to the end of the season, I would take "two year contract" to mean September '23 is Year 1, and then '24 is Year 2.  That is a cool article. Very encouraging how closely they are following the KBO.

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      I think most teams would want to have an MVP candidate at quarterback.   Most of the time this will mean that he is better than the guy they currently have.  That's why. My quote was not taking salary into account.  If you take his current salary into account I think you are still talking about a majority of the NFL teams that would take him right now.  If the salary is an issue you find a way to make it work.  I'm starting to come around to the idea that the salary cap is kinda fake in a way after I keep seeing teams do stuff like adding void years other trickery to get the guys they want.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.
