as Manny and Zach (sounds like a Nikelodion show) become free agents after that season and others reach the age of no return, how about this trade:

Brian Dozier for Jon Schoop and 2 of our top 10-15 prospects. Dozier had an amazing 2nd half last season and even fielded well. He has 2 years left on his contract at just 6 and 9 mil. Minny seems willing to trade him in order to get younger. Schoop has shown the last 2 years he's one of the top young 2nd basemen in the game, but he drives us nuts with his pitch selection and didn't show signs of improvement. He has 3 years left to free agency - just 1 more than Dozier. Schoop is a good all-around player with a better long-term outlook, but in the next 2 years - Dozier's likely a stud - possibly even an MVP candidate.

Feel free to post your trade idea (assuming the goal is to win in the next 2 years) here after trashing mine.

Schoop is cheaper and has more years of control, plus they get one of our top 15 prospects. Seems like a fair deal.

I thought they got TWO of our top 15 prospects? That's too rich for my blood. I am not THAT frustrated with Schoop. I'd probably do it plus one prospect - just not two. Very interesting trade idea.

They aren't trading Brian Dozier for Schoop and two top 15 prospects from an embarrassingly bad farm system. I don't think people in this thread realize how good Brian Dozier is.

The trade ideas that I've been seeing on this board the last few days have been hysterical.

The main purpose of this thread was for the people criticizing my trade idea to come up with a trade idea of their own. So far, there hasn't been anything specific other than tweaking my idea.

How's about Urias and Ethier from the Dodgers for Britton, Walker, and Gallardo??

Or maybe if we could get Hellickson to allow a trade we could do a swap for him for Jimenez plus a prospect like Mancini or a bullpen piece like Givens or Brach?

I could see the Dodgers doing that if you substitute Jose De Leon for Urias. I doubt they're interested in trading Urias.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
