No way in hell should Britton be dealt.

If we are out of it (and it doesn't look like we will be much of a contender), we sure as hell better start listening to offers for Britton. This organization is not going to pay a RP atleast $10M per year, that's already been established.

You think they are blowing this up?? After what we saw with Gausman and Bundy.

If we are out if it late July next year that is a different story.

Mancini is our DH next year. Sisco is catching and I think we get rid of Miley/ Gallardo/ Ubaldo for a RFer with a LH bat. Or we sign Josh Reddick/Michael Saunders. Trumbo, Wieters, Stubbs, Bourn and Alvarez are gone. I think we keep Pearce, and burn Nolan reimold on the stake

Josh Reddick would be a good pickup and could hit 35+ home runs playing at Camden Yards.

I don't want Pearce back either. Time to get a real right fielder and use Bourne as our fourth outfielder.

Britton is not going to be dealt in the offseason.

If at the trade deadline we are not in good (I stress good) position to make another playoff run then near free agency players like Britton, Jones, Tillman (if not extended), Kim, maybe even Machado need to be traded. The haul those guys could bring could potentially reload the organization for the next ten years.

25, maybe. I agree he should see an uptick in numbers playing in a hitters park for once in his life, but let's not get carried away. He hit 10 this year.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By ChuckS · Posted

      A few of them are comparable. I rather have Kirby, Singer, Ober, or a healthy Rodon, as my number 3 over Kremer.  I don't have a problem with Kremer as my number four, but i'd like another pitcher who can regularly shut down an offense in the top 3.  I also look at the FA deadline as perhaps the best opportunity to add a guy who can replace some of Burnes production when he likely he leaves after the season.  I would be floating Kjerstad for a pitcher like that.

      I don't consider Gil their ace.  He is a rookie with decent stuff but I think he massively regresses before the end of the year.  I do not expect him to get a playoff start ahead of Cole, Stroman, Cortes or even Rodon by the end of the year.  To say they are all better than the Orioles top three is insane to me.  Burnes is better than every pitcher on that list with the possible exception of a healthy Cole which he may not be all of this year.  His situation feels similar to Bradish to me.  Rodriguez is better than all but a handful of the guys on that list.  I think we have 2 of the top 7-10 pitcher in the AL but you think we have a worse rotation than any of the likely AL playoff teams.  That is crazy talk to me.

      Right.  That’s the problem and why they keep going to Cano.  We were thin before we lost Coulombe.

      Eddie and Cal were not as athletic. Gunnar’s athletecism is why I compare him to Alomar and Brady.

      Kimbrel lol. I mean it's pretty thin back there, they have to add another arm at least.

      Who do you trust over Cano in the 7th and 8th?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      I don't think this is an all-in year.  A lot can happen in a year.  This time last year, if someone on the board posted that in the upcoming offseason that we'd get Burnes for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall, they'd have been laughed out of the room.   So many things can happen in a year that people have no way of predicting or forecasting.  No one saw Ryan O'Hearn becoming one of our best hitters.  No one saw the leap Gunnar was going to make from last year to this year.  No one saw the player Westburg is becoming.   Yeah, we could lose Burnes and Santander but we could also gain your guy Coby Mayo and someone else through a trade.  Remember, Corbin Burnes wasn't on our radar at all last year. We've got a great, great core group of young players with more on the way.  We're set up for the next 5-10 years, easy.   If this were an aging, veteran team with a bunch of 30 somethings like the '96 and '97 teams, I'd agree.  Push all the chips to the middle of the table.  But this isn't that. I get that we're finally good, everyone's excited, everyone want to see this team win a World Series now, this year, because it's been so long since we have.  But it's also really important that we've got the opportunity to do it every year for the next 10 years, too.
