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.

They ain't selling if they stay this close.

I think Montero being cut loose hurts Castillo's value.

How does this work?  Let's say Montero is owed $7M (it's a little more than that), if he goes in claimed, does a signing team pay the minimum and the Cubs pay the rest?

I read where Toronto was interested.

I still think Castillo would be a good play for Milwaukee even after getting Vogt.

If someone claims him they pay him.  If no one claims him the signing party pays him the prorated league minimum and the Cubs are on the hook for the rest.

Second hand info, but supposedly the Cubs had a group at Gausman's last start. Not sure how truly interested they are or if BAL is even interested in moving Gausman, but a number of the front office guys in CHC still think Gausman has front line stuff.

Pina has been really good for Milwaukee. .798 OPS already accumulated a 1.3fWAR

Couldn't this just be advance scouting for the upcoming series in two weeks.

Could be, just second hand info and I know they've been interested in the past. They asked on him the last two off seasons.

Interesting, prefer to get Gausman fixed with the O's.  No interest in a Jake Arrieta redux.  

Also there is less then 1%  chance Orioles trade him to the Cubs or anyone else.

The cubs are one of the few teams that could make a stupid offer for him.  They come to the Os and say Happ and De la Cruz and 1 more of our top 15-20 prospects, you got to think there is some serious consideration.

Exactly what I was thinking. It makes a lot of sense for both sides. The cubs rotation is iffy and they might lose some starters to free agency at the end of the year. They've had success with fixing Oriole pitchers before and he's cost controlled. Plus they have blocked prospects to deal. 

I'd at least entertain offers if we decide to sell.

We have plenty of trade assets.  They are Sisco, Mullins, Scott, Liranzo, Hays, Mountcastle, Phellufo, and Akin.  

 

Rather stand pat then give up any of those guys other than Sisco and Phellufo.

There's 10 threads on selling.  There's gotta be one on possibly buying.  The team is .500 despite terrible seasons from Machado, Gausman and Tillman.  Injuries to Davis and Britton.  

We're only 1.5 GB in the WC.  Only the Astros are a dominant team in the AL.  Everyone else is severely flawed.  Our bullpen is about to get back to top notch with Britton.  If we get anything from the rotation I think we'll make the playoffs.  Apparently that's not the hip feeling to have on here.  

I wouldn't mind getting a 3B/SS and a SP.  I don't think it would require to even move the big names.

      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?

      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.
