I would field offers for Sisco and Stewart. There are a lot of good, young outfielders in the Orioles system. See what you can get and if there is a good offer, go for it. Sisco could bring back a decent pitcher, especially if paired with someone, or even on his own to a down and out team looking to dump a bit of salary (ala Clevenger for Trumbo.)

Just looking at that list, the best guy available is Quintana. Not sure if Sisco by himself would get you him.  I'd target Jaime Garcia personally and maybe Jeff Samardzija(wouldn't give up Sisco for him).  Hell, Scott Feldman too. This is if the team plans to buy.

Part of me says see if you can trade Jimenez to Detroit for Verlander and see how much salary they'd eat.

I don't know who is available for trade and who might be available at the deadline.

There are a boatload of TOR types who are FA this fall. If we are still in contention Sisco could get us one.

Do you think his stock has risen that much?

He's having a good enough year with the bat but it's hardly been a breakout season.

I don't see why he should expect to get much more on the market this offseason than last.

Agreed.    I don't think his value has changed much at all.

I'm completely against any trades for players who will be free agents at the end of this season.    We cannot afford that type of short term thinking with this team.

Agreed. Which is why Quintana would be optimal because he's under control for 2 more years. But I don't think we have the prospects to make that move. 

But knowing the Orioles they'll try for a rental which is why I mentioned Garcia/Feldman

What? Ubaldo wouldn't get you near Verlander I would think.

What has this thread become.  Yankees lose a game and all of sudden this thread is about buying, and trading Ubaldo for Verlander?

If the Orioles insist on being buyers this year the organization will set itself back so far we may not see them compete for another ten years.

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

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      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

      Elias on contract extensions

      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.
