"...up until the draft. We've had discussions with several teams but it's doubtful that we will."

Dan Duquette.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that no other team this year has had discussions with other teams about trading their draft pick.

We've attached this pick to Ubaldo and probably contacted every team. Something may happen. A team will bite. Just a matter of how much of Ubaldo's remaining salary will we have to eat. 

Ubaldo, #74, plus cash(4 million) to team? for a PTBNL. 

How much do teams think the dollar value of the #74 pick is?

Really? Look I'm not a fan of trading picks either, and I know it's not the NFL or the NBA, but these are tradeable assets. I'd be surprised if those conversations don't happen, at least at a cursory level.

What other teams have traded one?

I stand corrected....thought it was none.  Thanks to Aglets for the pull, above.

I'm not saying it's necessarily likely that another team decides to move a draft pick; I'm just saying I'd be surprised if other teams haven't at least had discussions about doing so.  Figuring out ways to improve their club is a front office's job, and you'd think they'd consider all possible ways to do so, even if they decide it isn't ultimately in their best interests.  As I said, these are tradeable assets, and everything has a price. 

I guess I was being a little nitpicky with you, but I think your statement that we're the only team that would discuss (gasp) trading a draft pick seems like a little much.

All this, of course, is not to say that I hope we trade that pick....I hope we hang on to it and add another promising young player.

Lol....a question to which you already know the answer...

Sure, I was exaggerating a bit.  I'm sure at some level it is mentioned as a possibility.  But I don't think teams other than the O's view it as a worthwhile option.

How many teams get a competitive balance pick, and of those, how many were contenders?   (Not a rhetorical question; I don't know the answer.)

Fourteen and that would depend on the definition of contender.  However, I'm not sure how not being a contender would stop a team from making a trade that is in their best interest.

The Orioles have been one of the least viable franchises to pull off a run like the last five seasons. I know the Cardinals have gotten some picks because of their market. They've not sold them though.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
