Roch pointed out that he would have to be added to the 40, which is full. 

Washington has been crushing the ball, while also swinging and missing a lot. Should fit right in. 

Didn't see that coming. He does mash righties .327/.383/.558/.941 and the fact that Davis struck out so much, should make him fit right into the lineup. Gotta think Alvarez leaves the organization after this. If he's not going to come up when Davis goes down he's not in their plans. 

Congrats to Washington though. Always fun to see guys make their major league debut!

He might not be able to do better than Norfolk.  Are the KBO/NPB rosters full?

I wouldn't be sad if Alvarez leaves. He is a one trick player right now. 

Washington atleast has experience at 1st. I can't wait to see him in batting practice.

Is the 40 full?   In the past few days we have DFA'd Pena and Edwin Jackson.   We added Castro.   Am I missing someone else we added?

Actually I think there is an open spot on the 40-man. The Orioles roster on MLB.com lists 40, but it incorrectly lists Luis Sardinas, who was outrighted off the 40-man last month. So currently there are 39 players.

At this point, who knows...

I don't know if this has anything to do with promoting Washington over  Pedro but here is a guess.

Dan just sent 1.5m to promote  Jackson.   Then they DFA'd him a few days later.   They are still on the hook for that 1.5m though he is a free agent and can  pitch for any team with the new team only picking up about 300k.

Pedro is owed  1.2m if he is recalled at this point,  Washington  would cost about 300k   if the stayed  for the rest of the season  but he is optionable and could only cost about 2K at day until he is sent back down.

Probably something to this. It also doesn't help that Alvarez has looked terrible for most of the year.

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      They need players who are better than some they have

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
