He won't sell the farm or do anything. He should trade anyone in November if the package is right, including a salary dump. This includes, Manny (the O's will not resign him), Schoop, Davis, Tillman, Britton, maybe even Gausman....no untouchables. This team is more frustrating to watch than the bad teams over the 14 year span. I rarely expected much then, now I do. It looks like 4 and 5 for a while in the division for the next 14 unless they get smart and pro active. And another cycle like that might lead to the O's turning out well under 2,000,000 fans/year....maybe move team???

So now the franchise is going to fold and move? Step off the ledge my man.

Is this just your opinion, or do you have a source telling you this will happen?

I am an individual with no sources. If I say something that is insider, I will indicate that. Also, Tony-OH is really the only insider on staff.

Two years ago this team was 4 games away from being in the World Series. I know I'm no GM but I feel as though really set us back with that offseason worrying not about the Toronto job. I wish PA just would have sent him going.

There is a good core of talent on this team but they're all getting older and about to start costing money if they don't improve this offseason then I think it's time to be sellers.

He will. At the 2018 trade deadline when the team is under .500.

And not a second before which increasingly looks like it has been the plan all along. Personally I hope there's another two years of competitive baseball left in the team after this year and your point is moot come 2018.

This team has mismanaged what may have been the best opportunity to have success. We had a good mix of talented young players mixed with some veterans. Now it seems as though the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. I wish they would have done a better job of managing the assets at their disposal. My opinions are purely selfish as I don't know how long another dark age could last in Baltimore.

This season is a list cause. I know where you stand on it, but I hope DD is thanked for his time and then asked to leave after this season.

I wish DD took Toronto's offer in 2015 and accepted by PA. We could have gotten Dave Dombroski. Look what he did for Detroit and Boston!

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By PsychoBird68 · Posted

      Talking about hollering before your hurt...LOL...our bullpen is tied for the most wins at 16 and have the most SVO at 33 and they have the 6th best ERA at 3.44 and that's the only reason we are 15 game above 500 and we're 9th in Innings pitched but we do have 9 losses as a bullpen but that could be a lot worse considering we only have 3 guys that has pitched consistent which is why Hyde has a short leash but I'm sure if he left some of those middle relievers in longer and we lost 8 or 10 more of them SVO you all would at least think he was managing the bullpen correctly.... SMH.....

      Over the 35.33 innings of his last six starts, Dean Kremer has given up only 10 earned runs for an ERA of 2.55. In four of those starts, he's gone 6 to 6.33 innings.

      Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to see something just like this about Felix.

      Oooooh. Didn't expect that recall. I'm excited to see it! Bruce has been grinding it out a long time in Norfolk. He started the season looking good, and he started 2022 looking good against Major League talent. Can he peform in June 2023 the way that he performed in April 2022? I hope so. I'm here to see it! I like the idea of left handed starters. Because we have none in the rotation and I want to see 2 good ones sprinkled in. I've got my popcorn, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Bruce Zimmerman can do!

      Would you make this trade for Shane Bieber and Jose Ramirez

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Let's start with Ramirez... 1) He'll be 31 in September 2) He's signed thru 2028 3) There is $105M remaining on his contract for 2024-28, for baseball ages 31-35 (he'll be 36 when the contract ends 4) His power production has dropped dramatically in 2023 despite the fact his FB rate has increased 5) His overall offensive production is the lowest it has been since 2015 (age 22) I think the Indians might be happy to offload this contract if they could find a taker to give them some minimal value for it and they are not in contention. My conclusion: If the Orioles like him for the money over the next 5 years, he might be worth a 3-for-1 exchange of truly unknow prospect potential, but not Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod.  Think 1 of Prieto OR Willems plus 2 more hard throwers from Delmarva.  I would be seriously concerned about how a contract like Ramirez' would constrain the Orioles from signing Rutschman or Henderson to the sort of extension that will make them career Orioles.  Just like in football, where fans are tossing out 2nd round draft picks like they were party favors, I really dislike trading any top 100 prospect and certainly not one that comes with a strong possibility for an over-market priced contract. Bieber... 1) He's 28 as of 5/31 2) This is his worst season since his rookie year with a depressed K rate, increased BB and over 1 hit/IP, but he's still hanging in with an ERA that is somewhat better than the league average. 3) He's making $10M this season and will have his final year of arbitration prior to 2024, which makes the cost of him with a 1.5 year horizon bearable if you can assume he'll maintain his current 110 ERA+.  In addition, given the short horizon and age, that's a much smaller risk than for Ramirez. 4) This is where ME and his team come in to see if they can identify WHY he's not pitching nearly as well this season in addition to the obvious "Will he put the Orioles over the top?" My conclusion: Bieber may well be sought after, but I wouldn't trade any of Westburg, Cowser, or GrayRod for him.  I'd probably be willing to trade either Rom OR Ortiz plus another couple of live arms from the lower minors.  Westburg plus 2 Delmarva arms for both Ramirez and Bieber would be an enormous risk (see Ramirez), but I could get behind it if ME and team have decided he won't be nearly the offensive threat he is now in Camden Yards.
