I mean I do agree with the many people who say here that if Cowser or Kjerstad or some other hitter emerges as good or better than Santander, then yes of course it makes sense to trade him. But I just don't trust prospect rankings. Don't assume a player will be as good as high as he ranked until he proves it over a period of time. In 2016 Jorge Mateo was the Yankees top prospect, just ahead of Aaron Judge -- just to name one example. For this reason I think Santander hangs around a little awhile -- unless the O's trade for or sign a replacement outfield bat prior to the season -- in addition to trading Santander. -

But the Rays did lock up some of their best hitters -- mainly Evan Longoria and Wander Franco. I know Santander is not at that level, but I think there's a good chance Santander is with the team to start next season. I think it's a mistake to assume someone is ready to take over for him until he proves it. If not then trade for or sign someone who is -- if he must be traded now or pretty soon. I don't trust prospect rankings. In 2016 Jorge Mateo was the Yankees top prospect, just ahead of Aaron Judge. Also, the Orioles don't really have the pitching in the minors the way the Rays always seem to. Can't imagine Means or any decent pitcher getting traded for that reason. And for a long time the Rays weren't a very good hitting team, which I think is a big reason the Rays never tried to lock up their position players until guys like Evan Longoria started to emerge, though there may be a bit more to it than that. -

49ers QB Brock Purdy had UCL repair with InternalBrace. Here’a a summary comparing the two. I’m sure Bautista and his medical team will closely consider the best course for his circumstance. https://www.armoredheat.com/armored-heat-blog/tommy-john-vs-ucl-repair -

Building on some of the other posts, the ‘83 Orioles lost 5 of their last 7, giving up 40 runs in those seven. In 9 postseason games they gave up 12 total runs. I have no idea if the O’s bats will wake up or struggle. I have no idea if the bullpen can get tough outs without a weapon like Bautista available. And I have no idea how the starters will perform in the intensity of the postseason. But unlike fans of 22 other teams next Saturday we can find out! -

To me, just winning the AL East division was a great accomplishment in itself! -
I'm talking about trading one of our starting outfielders to make room for one or two of our top prospects and replenish our farm system at the lower levels. Elias has been great at finding great young talent. Not sure we need to sign any free agents, at least expensive ones. If we're going to spend big money it should go to Adley or Gunnar. -
