Well, he's a reliever that has thrown 60 IP and started 1 game this season with an ERA near 4, a FIP of 4.56 and a WHIP of 1.317.

He's relatively cheap.

So you're buying assuming that he can go back to starting. If he does go back to starting, you're essentially getting someone that would need to ramp up their innings.

But he his under control for the next few years.

He is not a rental. He isn't eligible for free agency until after 2019.

I don't think he's "cheap" for the Rays. He's never going to be in the rotation. His arb number is going to jump to around 4 million next year. That's alot for a bullpen guy for them.

I wonder if we could trade from our C depth for him. Like Heim/Murphy + 11-20 type prospect.

I would try to give the Rays a list.

Wright, Bridwell, Garcia, Lee, Aquino, Walker.

Pick one.

That way they get something and free up a roster spot.

I hope DD adds a OFer that can hits lefties and back up CF also in another trade.

Good point about him being expensive for the Rays going forward.

They'll try selling him as a starter, though.

Absolutely not! This type of trade is a "make a trade just to make one." No way you give up a good arm like Wright for this guy. That is the type of strategy that has caused up to move good arms in the past. DD either gets a salary dump or just needs to stand pat. He's the genius that ignored starting pitching in the offseason.

The Rays don't like to trade within the division so there'll be a division tax. I think Mancini should do it.

This is getting insane. We are going to give up our best hitting prospect (and next year's cheap DH) for a long man out the bullpen for a last place team. Unbelievable!

      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.
