Starting Pitching Trade Candidates

[Bahama O's Fan]

As we have seen before, it seems as though it is going to come down to starting pitching. What candidates out there might be available to trade for down the stretch that would be an improvement over what we have and what we could afford? (money or players)

Gallardo. LOL

I said an improvement

[sportsfan8703]

Anyone has to be an improvement over 88 with no command.  Ubaldo right now is like a Sat/Sun starter for a decent D1 NCAA program.  

Of course we can battle and win with him, but we really should only just rely on him to trade deadline at most.  He's a great guy with a great story but I'm sure there's a 100 guys on this message board like that too.  It's a shame that none of these guys in AAA/AA could put together a good ST or a get off to a fast start in the minors and push these guys.

Andrew Triggs is pitching well for Oakand. Can't even remember who DD gave him away for

"On March 10, 2016, Triggs was placed on release waivers after the Orioles signed Pedro Álvarez."

His first two starts have been much, much better than his spring training.  He's been better than Davies, Rodriguez, Brault, and Hader for sure.

We've kind of already acquired a vet to possibly start, Edwin Jackson.

Ubaldo will not last the seadon.  At some poi t the value remaining on his deal will finally be less than the roster spot he is occupying.

I really want to see him do well because he is a good guy.  When looking at replacements if I were the Orioles I would give every reasonable in house option a shot.  Trade wise it's tough to figure out given how early in the season it is.  Two names I would look at is Holland and Buchholtz.

That is pretty sad.  Jackson in not a good starter any more.  He might work himself back to being a decent reliever.

Buchholz may be under going Tommy John.  https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/04/clay-buchholz-to-undergo-mri-likely-headed-to-disabled-list.html

Well, that sucks for the Phillies

[Just Regular]

Maybe Mancini does enough in the next couple months to get us into the Jose Quintana conversation.  Mullins is also doing a great job so far elevating himself for B player consideration in that package.

I think we better be happy with what we got and pray Tillman gets healthy and we don't run the BP in to the ground.

JMHO I would not hold my breath waiting for a trade from the O's for a quality SP.

 

[Machado13]

This is exactly why I believe Gausman and Bundy have to pitch like true top of the rotation guys for the Orioles to succeed this season.

we can hope Tillman comes back, but that situation is an unknown. Miley can be serviceable but we just don't know...need him to step up.

I'm done with ubaldo. I can't watch him on repeat every season.

Buck and company really, really need to stabilize the rotation, ASAP.
