Is Trumbo as good as gone?

Where are you getting your info? Carter played 67 games (with an .864 OPS) for the 2012 Athletics, who went 94-68 and won the division on the last day. He was also a regular for the Astros in 2015 when they went to the postseason.

And who even cares what his teams W/L was? Lol

Useless info even if it were true.

Not sure how many teams have interest in Trumbo.Wieters may have even less with Nats getting a catcher and Braves looking in another direction . Can see Trumbo and Wieters being out there awhile

I'm beginning to think both will be back on 1 year deals.

This is just like the Cruz situation.  DD didn't pay Cruz and we replaced him with this,

Pearce 3.7 million

Young 2.25 million

Snider 2.1 million

De Aza 5 million

That's about 13 million spent on four players trying to replace Cruz.  We may have saved a million or two when we traded De Aza.  But we had to spend that on Parra's salary at the deadline.  Plus we lost Tarpley, Brault, and Davies in trades for OF's.  So 13 million and 2 pitchers that would probably be in our rotation right now.  Do we really need to repeat that?  

Just spend the money and keep Trumbo.  Bourn and Rickard would make fine late inning defensive subs for Kim and Trumbo.  The only question is how much does Trumbo want?  

Neither Young nor Pearce were replacements for Cruz.   They were already on the team for all of 2014 while Cruz was there.    De Aza was also on the team in 2014, but only in September, so you can consider him part of Cruz's replacement if you wish.

Don't the Rockies hold the highest comp pick position the Orioles could get? I still think Trumbo comes back to the Orioles on a 1 year deal.

[gtown]

The Rockies have the highest comp pick *that can be lost*, but the Orioles gain would be a sandwich pick at the end of round 1, no matter who signs Trumbo.

I know. But wouldn't the sandwhich pick  be higher if the Rockies sign him, as opposed to the Astros for example?

So what determines the sandwhich pick order? I've never followed the rules of that. I always thought the QO system was fairly dumb imo.

Same order as the draft order.  Since Mets signed Cespedes, the Orioles have the first comp pick, unless they sign Trumbo.

I think Colorado is a good spot for him.  He'd fit in at 1B there.

[Satyr3206]

I he hits like he did last year he might hit 75 dingers at that launching pad.

[El Gordo]

If Trumbo signs with COL we get their #11 pick. The new QO rules don't go into effect until next off season.
